 >Logic would indicate that he should have a beard--I don't think hair
care is a service available in Azkaban :-)  But for some reason, I've
always pictured him clean-shaven as well.  Maybe it has something to
do with the Sirius-as-sex-symbol mindset--long, tangled facial hair
doesn't seem to fit into that.  Unless the people who aren't
attracted to Sirius don't envision him with a beard either...

Hmm, maybe so. I cemented my vision of Sirius with his first appearance (on 
TV, yes?). When they described him, I pictured a shaggy, unshaven, 
wild-eyed serial killer look. And I can't help it -- I STILL see him that 
way throughout the books. It's wrenching for me to try to imagine him when 
he's "cleaned up". (Though I can imagine him as having the potential to 
clean up nicely, since he was described as handsome at James and Lily's 
wedding -- you know, nice bone structure, compelling eyes, and a graceful, 
lanky frame under all that grime and hair. <grin>) And maybe it's easier 
for me to continue to picture him scruffy and tangled because for me he's 
never been "Dead Sexy". That goes to James, and would go to Lupin if he'd 
just eat his way out of that bony, not-well stage. <g>)
