Nor are they particularly controllable.  Dementors seem to be like
vampires in Gothic fiction -- inclined to let their hunger overwhelm
their self-control.  Recall how they crowded into the Quidditch Pitch
in PoA.  Perhaps they were drawn to Harry for some reason, but the
common belief was that they were drawn by so many souls to feed on. 
In either case, attacking in that manner at that time was not a
calculated move, considering the presence of so many powerful wizards,
but seemed more like a herd movement based on instinct.
