     I was recently rereading one of my favorite chapters in OOTP
which is titled "The Centaur and the Sneak" and I got to the scene
where DD takes on Fudge, Umbridge, Kingsley, and Drawlish. Right
before DD takes them all out (in less then a few seconds I might add,
He is the Man) he refers to the snag in Fudge's plan, meaning that he
will not come quietly. He says " I have absolutely no intention of
being sent to Azkaban. I could break out of course-- but what a waste
of time, and frankly, I can think of a whole host of things I would
rather be doing". Since I have always wondered just how powerful DD it
got me thinking on the possible ways one could go about breaking out
of Azkaban. We are presented with two possible ways in which one can
do this. You can escape like the group of five DEs did, which is
probably because the Dementors have let them escape on Voldemort's
orders or He could go about the only other way we are presented with:
escaping like Sirius did. The only reason Sirius was able to escape is
that he was an Animagus. Dementors cannot sense the emotion of animals
as well as they can sense the emotions of a human. He could tranform
into dog form whenever he needed a break from the constant soul
sucking, and eventually he found the determination to slip through the
bars after he was skinney enough. The Animagus form is the soul reason
why Sirius could escape Azkaban. So from our evidence the only way DD
would be able to eascape the gaurds and Azkaban is if he was an
Animagus. Plus if you add in the factor that Sirius told DD how he was
able to escape Azkaban, it would give DD the knowledge (if he already
didn't know) to escape Azkaban at anytime. 
     This would only hold up however, if there is no other way to
escape a Dementor without a wand. 

In closing, by saying he already knows how to escape Azkaban, DD has
told us he is either an Animagus or a metamoramagus. 

Let me know what you think,
John
