Meri now: What I was getting at was, what if all the negative human 
emotions over time, like hatred, anger, violence, etc. built up over 
history and manifested itself in the form of dementors. Wizards have 
powers that they sometimes can't control when they are upset, scared 
or angry. What if when wizards feel these things *something* gets 
produced and what if that something is a dementor. Or what if (the 
thoughts are flowing freely now at 11:40 pm) a particularly powerful 
wizard got so angry or upset at something that in his or her anger 
created them. Could the feud between Gryffindor and Slytherin have 
created enough anger to make the dementors? Nah. That's too crazy. 

Meri - wondering why she is doing her best HP thinking at night...
