Oh, right! Forgot about the greasy-haired-one! Not to mention the 
golden-haired evil boy, Draco. But (in this case) they only serve to 
reinforce the point: where are the fan groups for the Cedrics, the 
Nevilles, the Bagmans of the world? Most men one meets in real life 
fall into the utterly-normal, slightly-nerdy-with-heart-in-right-
place, or post-jock-jovial categories, yet who inspires the female 
fans? Outre (Sirius), outre (Lupin), and outre-with-stringy-hair 
(Snape). 

And just because I'm a little fascinated by fandom these days: is it 
truly true that Snape had the first spinoff group or were you merely 
being witty?
