Oh! I *have* been influenced by fanfic: I thought the 'do you 
care about your appearance?' question was DRACO!

Whether Lockhart or Draco, I consider it a bad question: he is a 
vain man who fusses with his appearance, but he LIKES the results. 

I care about my appearance in terms of: I try hard (actually, at my 
age 43, it is a habit) to avoid looking into mirrors or other 
reflective things like store windows -- when I am ambushed by an 
unexpected reflecting window or mirror-lined elevator, in the moments 
before putting my eyes out of focus, those eyes are assaulted with a 
repulsively ugly sight: me. That is a Yes to that question, but not a 
Yes to being like Lockhart.
