Ok I get your point...lol  
I didn't mean they should be attractive for romatinc roles..I have 
never thought this..I knowHP isnt about romance..however just by the 
description in the books I get the picture of a rather attractive 
man...does this make me a bad person???

LOL

And as for Lupin...I guess Thewlis will do..lol I will admit to never 
have seen him in a movie so I might be surprised with him..
