Really?
Maybe you know best - though whenever I have a chat to one they
always seem to end up foaming at the mouth and chewing the furniture.
Odd that. Perhaps it was something I said.

Ooh, yes please! An extra 5% for owning a Volvo, 10% for naming your
kids Damien or Clarissa, 15% to pay for the counselling to stressed-out
nesting spuggits bothered by Bill Oddie look-a-likes, 20% for wearing a 
Fair-Isle sweater and the full 50% if they work at the BBC. Seems fair.

Quite possibly.
Though since Dementors thrive on misery, shouldn't that be 'lost
someone they heartily disliked"? There's nothing so vulnerable as a
happy Dementor.
