imamommy:

Or started shouting for Mundungus earlier?  For anyone who used to 
watch Bewitched, I keep expecting him to turn up and say he's been in 
Bombay;)

My guess is that if she felt the effects, but couldn't actually see 
the dementors that 1) she felt too horrible to help Harry or 2) she 
realized too late what was going on.  

I think if DD had instructed her to lie, he would have told her more 
about the way dementors move.  I think she did this on her own.
