I Just Have to Respond:

I had to laugh at your post, Teri! because you just described my thoughts on 
the matter perfectly, right down to the Snape bit :)>

I remember several years ago I heard on a radio talk show program (don't 
recall who was speaking and in what context, sorry) this person made an 
observation that women, in general, often judge men in terms of how good a 
partner he would make.

Now following in that vein, out of all the "of age" characters in 
Potterverse, Lupin does seem to be the best catch.  Sure he's poor as dirt, 
but he's intelligent.  Good with kids.  Creative (he came up with that 
obstacle course idea for the DADA final exam...I'd call that creative, 
wouldn't you?)  So he turns into a werewolf once a month...at least you know 
it's coming, and you can remind him to take the potion.  Anyway, I become 
really nasty once a month too :)>

As for Black, I really don't think I can say anything about Black...it has 
been mentioned elsewhere that we really haven't seen him under "normal" 
conditions.  He's also a man on the run from the law, and though that may 
change, he's also carrying a lot of baggage from his stint at Azkaban.  That 
glazed look that comes over his eyes when he thinks about "those days" kinda 
frightens me.

Then there's Snape...ahhh, Snape.  Sure, he's an evil S.O.B., but there's 
something about him (starts to hum her filk, _I Don't Know Why I Like Him_). 
  But I think his personality would get on my nerves after a while.  I would 
probably fall for a hot romance, ending in a bitter fight :)>

Lockhart, you mentioned, Richelle?  The looks are there, but do you really 
want to hear him bragging 24-7?  Been there, done that.

Whattaya think about Dumbledore?  Oh yeah, I know he's an old coot, but I 
bet he was something in his day...red hair, very intelligent, influential, 
powerful.  He's got a good sense of humor.  Responsible.  Deals very nicely 
with others.
