Alla earlier:
Why children of Hogwarts would necessarily be well aware of what in 
the Dementor brings about the effect?<
 
Betsy:
Because every single Hogwarts student experienced the effect of 
Dementors at the very beginning of PoA while on the train to 
Hogwarts.  The Dementors searched the entire train.  The Trio were 
*not* the only ones to feel what the presence of a Dementor does.

Alla:

Right. They experienced it,but as far as we know nobody explained it 
to them yet that Dementors feed on emotions, so they don't know what 
caused such effect. Am I missing something here?

>...I am not exactly sure whether Draco even had time to FEEL the
real effects of the Dementor. It seems to me he run away really fast
as soon as he SAW Dementor.

Betsy:
But of course Draco felt the effect. Dementors arrive, you feel the
effect.
<SNIP>

Alla:

I am still not sure how strongly Draco felt the effect, but even if
he did, he has NO idea what causes such effect and looks could be
that.


Alla earlier:
What exactly do you mean by "throw him off his game"? Like provide a
small distraction? But Draco KNOWS that dementors are really BIG
distraction for Harry.<

Betsy:
They (Draco and Flint) know how good Harry is. They know that a
small distraction wouldn't effect Harry at all (when he's in the
air, the boy is *focused*). So they choose the big distraction of
showing up as Dementors, drawing Harry's attention to them and away
from the game, and the Snitch. They just needed to pull Harry's
attention away from the Snitch. They did not need to injure Harry
or cause him to fall off his broom. If Gryffindor lost that game,
it would have been the last game they played that year.


Alla:

Ummm, thanks for clarification, but you did not answer my question.
Could you do it again, if you don't mind? I did not ask you what
Draco and Co needed to do. I asked you what in your opinion they
thought would have happened when Harry saw Dementors?

They KNEW Harry fainted when Dementors came. If Harry faints, he
falls off his broom. How do you arrive at " not murderous" intent?

JMO,

Alla, who finds editing and deleting her post for the third time to 
be quite annoying. :)
