> <snip comment about veela> Any thoughts?

I have several theories on veela.

One, is that they are in fact beings, not quite human but practically. 
Part-human, part-harpie judging by their angered forms.

I also think that veela can somehwhat control their charm. The veela at the 
Quidditch match affected Harry when they were putting their charms on 
full-blast, but Fleur has never tried to attract a large group of men and 
Harry is unaffected by her normal charm because he has a stronger resistance 
to magic than Ron. I don't think they can ever *completely* "shut off" their 
veela charm though....Just make it stronger at times. I also toyed with the 
theory that perhaps the veela charm gets stronger when they are flirting or 
something, but I'm not sure about that

I also think that veela have powerful enchantment/charm ability coming from 
their enchantment over men. Fleur nearly enchanted a dragon to fall asleep, 
something dragon keepers couldn't do! I think she must "channel" her veela 
charms though her wand with the veela hair core to produce powerful charms 
such as that.
