Sep 8, 2012 at 23:19 comment added AncientSwordRage @Slytherincess no the victim is not 'destroyed' they become comatose, as far as I can tell. And we don't know what dementors do to souls when they're nomed. We don't even know where in a person/horcurx the soul is, and it may not even be retrievable in that manner.
Jan 30, 2012 at 7:10 comment added Sriram Krishnan Correct, it would matter what is done with the ripped out soul.. I think that when the soul is ripped out by the dementor it doesn't eat it.. I think it sucks the soul and sets it free.. So the soul is probably floating somewhere and not truly destroyed
Jan 13, 2012 at 16:13 comment added Slytherincess I like your answer a lot! I think where my question comes in is regarding the ripping/sucking of the soul. Would it not depend on what is done with the ripped or sucked-out soul? One can rip their soul by murder, but they don't have to make a Horcrux. They could live with their torn soul inside. Or they could make a Horcrux, which is a protective vessel. When a Dementor sucks out the soul it destroys the victim; somehow the Dementor is digesting the soul and its appetite is insatiable, which suggests Dementors don't store souls in reserve to feed on later. Thoughts? :)
