Oh, Sr. ML, thank you!  I mentioned that a blond wavy-haired Gaston 
was exactly how I pictured Lockhart sometime ago, and there wasn't 
any reply.  I'm so glad I'm not alone.  Gaston is such a buffoon, and 
so properly full of himself, and of course all the village girls 
swoon over him.  I think this is the reason I picture GL 
as 'strapping', and Elwes doesn't really fit that to me.  Of course, 
my picture of Peeves is a cross between "The Funky Phantom" and Uncle 
Albert from "Mary Poppins", too, so...
