I wouldn't quite be in the fourth camp, although I get where you're coming 
from. I've never understood the supposed hotness that is Sirius Black. Maybe 
it's because I don't like scruffy men? Aragorn from LOTR doesn't do much for 
me either. I like Lupin, but not to the point that I think he's sexy. And 
Snape...well, I don't know what to think about old Snape. I think we don't 
know all there is to know about him (duh!) and am content to wait for the 
remaining books to make up my mind. But I don't find him sexy either.

I, personally, find Percy and Oliver much more appealing. And the Oliver I'm 
referring to is the canon Oliver, not the movie Oliver who has inspired 
scads of fangirls (and fanboys) to write swoonily about him. *grin* Course, 
those two are much closer to my age in the canon. And if we were to take 
Harry's yearmates ages right now, in 2002, they would practically BE the 
same age as me. Although, I fear, I still think of them as young teenagers 
so I don't do any swooning over them. Not that I do much swooning anyways 
but I have my moments.

Oddly (or maybe not?) enough, I didn't think about the characters' "sex 
appeal" until I stumbled into the fandom. Of course, I never even considered 
that Draco could possibly be redeemed, Neville just might have a memory 
charm on him or that Snape may be a bat animagus. And lo, how the fandom 
changes perceptions...
