[Remus has to laugh a little at that. Don't worry, he's not laughing at you, Cullen. He's delighted to have such an attentive student again.]
Well, most dark creatures that I'm familiar with are certainly their own entities, although we do have our own versions of such things as well. Inferi, for example, sound rather like these Revenants of yours, corpses reanimated by Dark Magic. Of course, there are other creatures, that are their own beings all on their own. The Dementor is a good example of that, for instance. [Remus goes into professor mode - you did say that he could, Cullen.]
Dementors are among the foulest creatures within the wizarding world. They infest the darkest, filthiest places, they glory in decay and despair, they drain peace, hope, and happiness out of the air around them. Get too near a Dementor and every good feeling, every happy memory will be sucked out of you. If it can, the Dementor will feed on you long enough to reduce you to something like itself - soulless and evil. You will be left with nothing but the worst experiences of your life. They even have the capacity to suck out your very soul, leaving you an empty, vegetative shell. [He shakes his head.] There are means of defending oneself against them, but it takes an immense force of will, and a very complicated spell that not even all adult wizards are capable of mastering.
video; perfect :') please excuse me recycling some direct canon quotes here as well
