Sorry to nitpick, but it's veela, not velee. 

I always thougt it funny that there's a race of beings composed entirely of 
women (I presume...though that would be hard to explain full-veela...Argh! 
Must stop thinking too muxh about this) that turn into birds when they're 
mad...Imagine them at a certain time of month ^_^. 

Anyway, this post brought up another thought to my mind; just how much "veela 
power" does a half-veela such as Fleur inherit? As far as we know, she 
doesn't turn into an angry siren-like creature but you never know. However, 
we DO know that she has the physical appearance of veela in their human form, 
she has the charm that attracts males, and her enchanting powers seem 
stronger (nearly enchanting a dragon to fall asleep when it takes twenty 
wizards to stun it) which I presume is from veela enchanting powers.
