*Jodi opens the lurkers closet door a crack and peeks out, seeing the 
way clear she timidly tiptoes over to the list elf's desk and leaves 
a single sheet of paper befor scurrying back to her corner."

  During my many reads and re-reads of the books I had always 
wondered what happened to someone who receives the dementors kiss. We 
are told they just exist, but not really what happens to them once it 
happens. On my final re-re-re-re-re (etc) read of POA befor OOTP, 
this line jumped out at me and made me think..........Lupin is 
talking to Harry on page 187 of POA(US Paperback Edition) and  
says.."Get too near a dementor and every happy memory will be sucked 
out of you. If it can, the dementor will feed on you long enough to 
reduce you to something like itself...soulless and evil."    
Soooooooo, this makes me wonder, does someone perhaps become a 
dementor once they have been kissed by one? Will we see Barty Crouch 
Jr. back as a dementor in later books? Is it that they turn into 
something "like" a dementor or actually become one? That was my 
thought at first, if just the word "soulless" had been used, but when 
you add "evil" into the mix, it could take on a new meaning. Whatcha 
think?
