Potioncat:
Harry was more sensitive to Dementors than his classmates, could be 
Arthur is extra-sensitive too. It also seems that someone said there 
different degrees of security within Azkaban--which usually means 
different degrees of severity. We don't know which sections Arthur 
had to visit.

Did any of the Order members who went in, ever come out that we saw 
later? Mundungus seemed OK, and Hagrid was all right. Harry notices 
that Hagrid has a certain look when Azkaban is mentioned, and he's 
very careful about rules afterwards---but he goes out for a drink 
with the very man who sent him there.

So I do think Azkaban is horrible, but that people survive it and 
come out of it.

One of the ways Harry is not like James.
