I agree Dementors could be the "vampire" of the series. The suck
(feed) on the soul, and take it from you leaving you as "one of the 
undead". Just as traditional Vampires suck(feed) on blood, making 
one very weak or turning you to the "undead" .

Voldemort and the DE's can too be argued as vampires. They suck
(feed) on the fears and mistrusts of the wizarding society on a 
whole. They take a bit of life from wizards by each act of terror, 
manipulation, and coercion. the whole process broke down and drains 
the society (like a vampire)the last time around. They are trying to 
do it again.

That's plenty of Vampires in my opinion,
Thank you.
