Does a Dementor count as a material object? If so, the (now-disproven) fact of their indestructibility would have made them seem to be ideal Horcruxes.

Or, since they are "wounds in the world", are they simply places where space isn't?

Or would they simply "eat" the Horcrux? A dementor is no fun place to be when you have just, like, died (as in "lost a body").

Since they eat souls ... probably not an ideal place for a soul-fragment, yeah.
