it's on FictionAlley. It's quite gruesome, though - you've been

AmanitaMuscaria writes: The soul-sucked might just wither away and 
die, as prisoners in Azkaban supposedly do - interesting that 
Voldemort's supporters all seem to have survived, though?
There's also another consideration - it has been pointed out that 
Dementors sound similar to the Lethifold - the sightings we've had, 
where Harry states he's seen Dementors - how many have actually been 
Dementors? The way the Dementors left after attacking Harry and 
Dudley sounded different from the other sightings. Through Harry's 
eyes, we've seen boggarts and Slytherins as Dementors; maybe the 
other times, when no one with maybe more experience was there they 
weren't Dementors either? I'm not sure why , but it seems suspicious 
to me that the two times we have outside confirmation, they weren't. 
The only sighting I really believe is on the train to Hogwarts, and 
Harry hardly saw the thing before he fainted.
