Jen:  Hey, maybe that's why Voldemort has such control over them, 
he's their creator!  I've always wondered what he was doing all those 
years away after Borgin and Burkes.  You get the impression it was 
his immortality experiements, but maybe the Dementors came out of 
those failed experiements unintentionally?  I don't remember reading 
in the books when Dementors came about, how old they are, etc.  
Anyway, just a stray thought there.

Jen:  Maybe that's where Snape learned how to heal the wounds caused 
by Sectumsempra.

Jen, liking the idea of Snape trotting out to the Forbidden Forest to 
consult with the Centaurs.
