>> I have to disagree here, too. It's probable that the Dementors have
been in communication with Voldemort for some time, and it's his will
being done here; and the Dementors may have their own agenda as 
well.<<

HunterGreen:
That is very possible. Although, how would they know to jump on Barty 
Jr. like that? (I'm still wondering how Fudge got a hold of a 
dementer that quickly).

>> I don't think Fudge developed his ill will towards Harry until 

Harry started disturbing his life in the second half of PoA. <<
Open ill will, yes (because clearly he has no problem with Harry at 
the beginning of PoA). But if he had been in communication with 
Lucius, and had decided that getting rid of Harry will be helpful 
when Voldemort comes back, then its possible. Fudge is going after 
Harry in OotP for a slightly different reason.

>> I wouuld love to see how Fudge - or Umbridge, for that matter -
communicates with the Dementors. <<

Me too. I wonder if they talk, or if there's some other way he 
communicates with them. And do they know he's in authority?
