And raises troubling questions about the mortality of allowing the 
Kisses...I'd rather kill a person for their crimes them hold myself 
worthy of destroying their immortal souls.

I'm thinking that Horcruxs would prevent a Dementor from devouring a 
soul...Horcruxs seem to prevent the soul from passing over in death 
and since the Dementor's kiss seems almost like an "alternate" death 
(since something happens to the soul in both processes) it seems to 
me the bounds that protect the Horcruxed person from dying would 
also stop a Dementor.

This would also explain why the Dementors are the natural allies of 
Voldemort and the fact that didn't officially join him until the 
second war (unless I missed some info on the first war?). Voldemort 
is quite literally beyond the reach of the Dementors and thus worthy 
to be followed (since his "rebirth" proved that he had Horcruxs).
