I don't believe that this is the Dementor speaking. I believe this is
Harry recalling the graveyard scene from GOF as the wording is
exactly the same as what Voldemort said to Harry whilst he was
duelling with him.
In POA Harry heard his parents dying, as this was his worst memory
however now after the events in the graveyard - I believe that this
is his worst memory and so he hears Voldemort taunting him when the
Dementors get too close now.
