Finwitch:

1) A Dementor boggart is bringing up the same memories as a real
Dementor - (for Harry: the death of his parents pre-Cedric-dying) -
but it is safer than a real one (At least because Lupin could get it
turn into the Moon instead). Boggart may well be weaker than a
Dementor in this aspect, though...

2) Lupin feared of what a Voldemort!Boggart would do - kill the students?

3) Anyway, a boggart IS Legilemens enough to know what scares you.
Like the Mirror of the Erised is with your desire. (Both could be used
for practice! Mirror's better, right?)
