Slut!Seamus and other ships

  I decided to post this here, rather than the main list since it 
might deal with fanon, rather than canon, and maybe it wouldn't 
offend as many as slash does on the main list.

    So, I've seen that I'm not the only one curious about this, so I 
wanted to ask if anybody wants to guess why Seamus is made a slut, 
regardless as to the nature of the story or his realtionship. Even if 
he's het, he's a slut, and usually even if the story is het, Seamus 
is gay and with Dean or in some cases with Percy! Why is that? I 
don't mind Seamus being with Dean, but I was just wondering why a 
slut? But if he's really with Dean, then he's not a slut, but I have 
seen a few scenes where he's trying to get others to join them. He 
even is hanging around in the dorm naked in one scene, and tries to 
get Harry and Ron to join in! Ron just tells him to get some clothes 
on. ;)

   Another thing, I'm curious as to why many seem to think that its 
quite cool for Dean and Seamus to be together, yet not for Harry and 
Ron? The same arguments I always hear can apply to them as 
well. "They're best mates, and it would ruin things", "They're 
obviously straight", hello? Sometimes things happen. There aren't 
even obvious clues many times. So why is it really ok for D/S, but 
not H/R? Even H/D or D/R makes less sense to me than the other pairs, 
and they even squick me a bit. ;) I won't even touch the subject of 
*anybody* with Snape. :)

    Now, is Seamus Catholic or Protestant? There's no mention. He 
doesn't seem to have any prejudices about anybody prior to OOtP, so 
I'm guessing that even being half n half, he wasn't taught to hate 
based upon that, which is great. That could explain why he's so close 
to Dean, since he's not really prejudiced against anybody that we 
know of. Is his village rather isolated, and that's why he's not been 
taught any of those views? I'd like to think so. You can't tell from 
the novel where he's from with his accent, so would he be from a 
small town or village in the south, far away from the fighting? 
Guesses?
    
   I know there's more I want to explore, but I can't recall 
everything right now. :) Maybe this will be enough for a few posts, 
anyway.
