While I agree with what you said about what JKR's message might be 
concerning those who wear glasses, I must disagree with you about 
Harry's lack of attractiveness (you knew I'd pipe up here, didn't 
you?).  I find Harry quite attractive, actually.  Dark hair, bright 
green eyes, slim, glasses, brave... oh, excuse me, I drifted for a 
bit.  However, it is not simply his dark hair and green eyes *sigh* 
that makes Harry so darned appealing to me.  It is, as I suspect JKR 
wants me to think, his inner strength and resolve, his honesty and his 
humility that make me swoon.

Somehow Percy found a girlfriend and Krum has pursued Hermione, who is 
often referred to as *not* pretty, so yes, JKR wants us to all look 
beyond physical traits for attractiveness.
