Me:

  If I remember correctly, she explains herself by saying something 
to the effect of, "They wouldn't do anything about you, so I took the 
situation into my own hands." (I'm paraphrasing rather badly with 
that, but you get the idea.)  I took this to mean that she was 
attempting to remove Harry from the picture, i.e. have his soul 
sucked out by the dementors.  When that failed due to the Patronus, 
she had another chance to, at the very least, remove him from 
Hogwarts, stopping him from spreading his "nonsense" about the return 
of LV.
