Actually, no, I hadn't noticed that, because she isn't
described as homely.  "She had a bossy sort of voice,
lots of bushy brown hair, and rather large front
teeth." (PS/SS, Chapter 6)  That's hardly "homely". 
She's even described as very pretty in GOF at the Yule
Ball.  People tend to assume she's homely because
she's a brain, or because they, like Ron, just tend to
forget she's a girl.

Sorry, but it's a pet peeve of mine that people assume
nerds can't be pretty.
