So why did the dementors attack Harry?


Who sent them? Cornelius Fudge?

You have eternity. I have only now.

The dementors attacked Harry because Dolores Umbridge sent them. The book explains this better.

yep. dolores umbrage sent demeanors to attack harry because she felt that someone in the ministry must take MORE action against Harry for "telling lies" about the return of lord voldemort. So, in order to prevent Harry from going to Hogwarts and to basically sabotage him (or even kill him), she sent them.
