Ah, "bishonen vs. rugged" strikes again.  Fortunately for me, I 
appreciate both . . .  ;)

As for why there's no "Women of HP" discussion: all the women who are 
of age - Lily, Molly, Petunia, Narcissa, Mrs. Lestrange, Arabella, 
Minerva, Madam Hooch, Professor Sinistra, Sibyll, Professor Vector, 
Professor Sprout, Poppy, Madam Pince, Mrs. Diggory, and Professor 
Grubbly-Plank - suffer from one or more of the following conditions:

1) They're married.

2) They suffer from the same "too old" that Dumbledore does in the 
straight girls' discussion.

3) We know almost nothing about them.

A few of them have other issues (being in Azkaban, rumors of 
lesbianism, etc.) as well.


(My personal opinions on the "Men of HP": Lupin is definitely spouse 
material if he takes his potion reliably; Snape is Hurt-Comfort 
Heaven (and oh, that voice - I had Rickman voicing his text in my 
head long before he was cast); I'd want to strangle Sirius in a week, 
even if he is Dead Sexy; I'd want to mommy Hagrid, so I'd never see 
him as an equal and therefore not relationship material; ditto Crouch 
Jr.; I could see Dumbledore as a long-term mentor-type secondary 
relationship, but that's probably just me; Bill is intriguing, but 
I'm not Tough and outdoorsy enough for Charlie; that part about not 
being Tough Enough goes double for Mad-Eye; Flitwick might be fun, 
and I think intelligence is sexy, even if he is short; Lockwho?; Tom 
Riddle is another candidate for Hurt-Comfort, but he's too damaged to 
do anything but run from by the time he's Voldemort (and I concur 
with those who think that immortal snake-body Voldemort probably 
isn't potent anymore); and why hasn't pre-Quirrellmort Quirrell made 
the list?  He's another good Hurt-Comfort candidate.)
