One definition of a Veela:

Veela are ghosts of unbaptised women or virgins that are doomed to 
remain on earth.  They often dance in circles and any human who sees 
them will be forced to join the circle, dancing to his death.

Making a man dance to his death?  Sounds kind of feminist to me!

As Hagrid said in GoF, "I was jokin'....jokin'!"

Hags:

A hag (in Britain) is an old woman that personified the winter, in 
spring she becomes a beautiful young woman.

I did get excited (since I have been called a hag before) about being 
called a beautiful you woman until it was pointed out to me that 
winter is on the way......guess I will have to wait till spring.
