Well, if you want really off-the-wall crush objects, how about Flitwick?  I 
know he's short and he squeaks, but that can't be worse than Grotesque! 
Moody.  In fact, the Celluloid Unmentionable aside, I suspect he's rather 
cute, and he might even be old enough for me.  I always pictured him spending 
weekends in Hogsmeade with his delightful wife, till I realized that he was 
one of the thirteen at Christmas dinner in PoA and came to the conclusion 
that he was unmarried.  And he could be very romantic -- picture him at 
dinner waxing eloquent about your perfect Charms (ref. PoA ch. 10, GoF ch. 
22).

What, Cindy, you don't think Flitwick has Edge?  Why, he was a duelling 
champion!  Isn't that enough?

Cindy also said to Jenny, regarding Hagrid:

No, there are at least three of us in this club.  I believe I'm on record as 
saying, among other things, that Hagrid would only need a large tankard of 
mead to crack.

No, I think Hagrid will let something terrible slip a some pub (in 
giant-land, maybe? I expect Voldemort will have his recruiters there at the 
same time) and will die in an (unsuccessful) attempt to rein in the 
information.  But I don't think he and Dumbledore will go down in the same 
volume, unless it's the last. 

But what about all the Hagrid fans out there?  Not a crush object?
