I disagree!  I have a nice dinner with my DH riding on the theory 
that somehow, LV's soul will get inside Harry, and the Dementors will 
be tricked into smooching him, and they will suck out Voldy's soul 
instead of Harry's!

But even if the answer is more straightforward than that, the 
Dementors don't strike me as particularly loyal.  Should they become 
displeased with LV, they may very well turn on him.  There are plenty 
of (speculative) scenarios in which this could be possible.  We have 
no evidence that LV has control over the Dementors other than the 
ability to offer them humans to feed on.  I would guess they have 
very little effect on him, as I don't think he has many happy 
memories to feed on.

I think he'll have a clear choice... and that's all I think.  I don't 
know what he'll choose.  So far, he has only chosen evil.  Each evil 
choice he makes will make the path of redemption even harder.  But 
not impossible.
