NO ONE from the Harry Potter books would be my kind of date, not 
really. Oh, sure, Remus is a nice, mild-mannered academic type, but 
you've got to take into account the werewolf issues. Not cool. Fred 
and George are certainly good, fun, likeable sorts, but they aren't 
serious enough, IMO. Harry is a courageous, loyal, and determined 
young man, but he's just not my type. And Sirius is a protective, 
caring, and dedicated person, but the prison time isn't too 
appealing, and I think he may lean into being overprotective.

Of course, there's Draco, who is ambitious, cunning, and has a quick 
wit (it seems), but he's also completely horrible, if you ask me. 
Percy is smart, goal-oriented, and a fairly nice person, but very 
uptight. Bill seems like a rebel with a good heart, and Charlie 
appears to be the friendly outdoors type, but both of them are rather 
underdeveloped. Ron is funny, dependable, and good-natured, but 
altogether too immature. Cedric was good looking, hard working, and 
genial, but really didn't have much of a personality to speak of.  
Dumbledore is wise, trusting, and pleasantly quirky, but the 132-year 
age difference is a drawback. And Snape, who is highly intelligent, 
intrinsically honorable, and devoted, still has the reformed criminal 
self-loathing issues. 

Now, if JKR would introduce a character that was a nice combination 
of Snape, Fred/George, and Lupin, *then* there would be a clear-cut 
choice... :)
