Rach:
I have a question also - Why wasn't Bellatrix Lestrange mad after 
spending all those years in Azkaban? I remember Sirius in PoA (sorry 
I don't have the books with me to actually reference) said "most go 
mad in the end" or something similar. Is it possible that the 
dementors are able to restore some of what they have sucked out of 
their victims? 

Me:
I think that most effects of the Dementors go away once you get away from them. Problem is, in Azkaban, there /is/ no getting away from them. But, then again, how do we know Bellatrix isn't mad? At least unstable, in the same way that Barty Crouch Jr. was. And she was certainly the same type of Voldedemort obsessee as Crouch.

But why would the Dementors being restoring anything? They haven't sucked anything out. o_o
