That's how I thought of it. Kind of. I envision Draco as tolerating 
Pansy's presence only because his father demands that he stay within 
the range of pureblood Slytherin in dating choices. I don't see him 
actually liking Pansy, merely allowing her to clutch at him. *gag* She 
seems quite happy with being his 'girlfriend', however, seeing as he's 
wealthy, upper-class, and a... leader of sorts among the Slytherins 
close to him in age.

Draco didn't strike me as being unattractive, even before I read the 
descriptions of Hot!Draco in fanfics. I disliked Draco before reading 
fanfics, and even then I didn't think he was ugly, just unremarkable. 
And notice that, even when Harry gets extremely angry at Draco in the 
books, he doesn't make him out to be unattractive. JKR merely talks 
about his smirk, his paleness, the sharp lines of his face and the 
coldness of his eyes.
