>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?<

Betsy:
Why do the students need to know what *causes* the Dementor effect?  
I don't know what causes gravity to work the way it does.  Haven't 
fallen off the planet yet.

>>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.<

Betsy:
Eh, looks are a stretch, IMO.  Dementors look like tall creatures in 
black robes.  The WW is full of tall folks in black robes, and they 
don't leave a trail of depressed people in their wake.

>>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?<

Betsy:
Once more with feeling?  (That's a joke.  Plus a Buffy tie-in, so two 
points for me!)

Draco and Flint did *not* think their presence would cause Harry to 
faint and fall off his broom.  Because Draco and Flint know that they 
are in fact *not* Dementors.  I imagine that they thought Harry would 
panic when he saw what he thought were Dementors, stop focusing on 
the Snitch, start focusing on not fainting, and by the time he 
realized that he wasn't being effected by the Dementors, the Snitch 
would be Cho's.  Simple, effective, nasty, but not murderous.
