Just what ARE dementors anyway?

("I do not have an answer to your question about how dementors came 
into 
being, but I want to add a thought about dementors to your thread if 
you don't mind.

I remember reading in an interview that the dementors were JKR's 
representation of depression.  That is quite an accurate view, IMO.

I find this ironic:
Followers of LV = Death Eaters
Nature/Funtion of Dementors = Life Eaters

Wonder if that is significan or simply ironic?)"

Julie-
 Your post really interested me. Where did you see the interview in 
which she said that? I always like reading interviews "from the 
source"
PS How do you think the dementors are breeding? Do you think they 
are attacking  people and sucking out thier happiness to be able to 
breed?
