Potter?

Karen asks:

"Where does it say that the dementors were on LV's side during the 
first war?  GOF only has LV say "The dementors will join us...they 
are our natural allies".

The giants were banished because they sided with LV during the first 
war.

We have cannon that the dementors were in control of Azkaban and 
under the MoM soon after the first war by the pensive scenes in GOF.  
And via Petunia, during the first war.
