(PLEASE bear with the lengthy quotes; they are very necessary to my 
point, I promise.)

PoA, CHAPTER 12:

" 'They call it the Dementor's Kiss,' said Lupin... '...they clamp 
their jaws upon the mouth of the victim and--and suck out his soul.' 

'What--they kill--?' [said Harry].

'Oh no, much worse than that. You can exist without your soul, you 
know... you'll have no sense of self anymore, no memory, 
no...anything. There's no chance at all of recovery. You'll just--
exist. As an empty shell. And your soul is gone forever...lost.' " 


OoP, CHAPTER 36:

" 'You do not seek to kill me, Dumbledore?' called Voldemort.

'We both know there are other ways of destroying a man, Tom,' 
Dumbledore said calmly... 'Merely taking you life would not satisfy 
me, I admit--'

'There is nothing worse than death, Dumbledore!' snarled Voldemort.

'You are quite wrong,' said Dumbledore... 'Indeed, your failure to 
understand that there are things much worse than death has always 
been your greatest weakness.' "


Hmm. I agree with Dumbledore; the mere death of Voldemort would not 
be entirely satisfactory... but a Dementor's Kiss? That would be 
poetic justice at it's sweetest; ESPECIALLY if Voldemort was forced 
to choose between death and the kiss, and chose the kiss. 

This theory is, I think, rendered quite plausible by the above 
quotes; they even seem to be foreshadowing it, but maybe I'm just 
excited by the idea.

Of course, then there are the many question of Voldemort's sucked 
soul... it would go into the Dementor (wouldn't it?) and would the 
Dementor then have Voldemort's power and evil (ie, become a second 
Voldemort, or VolDementor, should I say?) Or would the Dementor just 
be violently sick? (Preferrably all over Aunt Petunia's "surgically 
sterile" kitchen floor!)

Please tell me what you think.
