I thought of that, but then in my experience boys of 14 won't describe 
other boys as "remarkably good looking" either (at least, they won't 
admit it) and yet that's what the narration gives us in GF.  I dunno. 
 I defer to your judgment since you were once an 11-year-old boy (I 
won't ask how long ago) and that's one experience I've never had.

Anyway, my point is I didn't think we could conclude from the 
narration whether Draco was particularly unattractive OR attractive at 
11/12/13/14.  We can but fantasize.  I, for one, have no particular 
opinion of his looks except to be quite certain he doesn't have eyes 
the size of platters.  ::Sigh::  I look forward to the anime craze 
dying down (she says, donning her asbestos union suit).
