I have no idea what the concensus was back in the day...I always 
thought Voldemort had control over them because he had not much of a 
soul left yet had powers over them. (Hence a dementor would find 
Voldie a sad snack indeed. However a starving dementor could be 
readily used to sniff out a horcrux.)

Voldie probably promised them magical powers beyond what they 
already have (soul sucking, limited psychic ability and flying) I 
suppose; besides which, what wizard, besides voldemort/grindenwald 
would/could allow a dementor to live among them?  Leads me to wonder 
if Grindenwald actually created Dementors..

Doddie,

of "history of magic")
