Perhaps they hold the charm in contempt simply because it is useless to them and antithetical to their existence.
On the Patronus front, I personally think it is more than just a Demementor deterrent - I think that is one of the uses that a very powerful piece of 'ancient magic' has been put to in the years since Voldemort came to power and organised the Dementors into the force they are.
I think the Patronus charm is some seriously advanced magic (lots of people are very impressed that Harry can do it) deriving from "good happy, rightoeus thoughts" that can be used for many different purposes, only by a "good" magical person.

 J.K. Rowling, Inkling?
But he was not powerless, because he had learned the Patronus Charm for use against the evil ones.
The Latin "expecto," as used in the Apostles' Creed, is best translated "to look out for" or "to long for expectantly." And "patronus" means guardian, but can also mean "deliverer" or "savior." So Potter cries "I look for a savior" and a stag appears, one that looks mysteriously like a unicorn.
In the Middle Ages, noted Granger, stags were Christ symbols, in part because of the regeneration of their antlers as "living trees." A cross was often pictured in the prongs.

Ron noticed this, tapped her on the shoulder and simply said, "it is as good as it looks." Lizzie felt relieved at Ron's comment and she thought to herself that she was going to be happy here at Hogwarts.
