I know I didn't express this particularly well (and I think I was 
being a bit smart-Alec anyway), but what I was trying to say is that 
the majority of the men (heterosexual men) were attracted by, 
entranced by and bewitched by, the Veela.  I wasn't specifically 
thinking of Fleur in Hermione's case, but I was wondering if lesbian 
women would be affected by the Veela in the same way as Heterosexual 
men.  Is it a sexual thing, or a gender thing?

The other thing I was wondering - are all Veela female?  Do they have 
to mate with men in order that their species/race/whatever, survive?  
In which case, perhaps they do only attract men?  Any clues?

Catherine, who's wondering if this is going back on topic?



"And you could ask your parents if they know who Flamel is," said 
Ron. "It'd be safe to ask them."

"Very safe, as they're both dentists," said Hermione.
(One of my favourite lines - not often does Hermione get the smart 
one-liners!)
