I'm new too, thirty and a little Narcissa. As for reader crushes: 
being a simple person I first fell for Sirius, the fact that he is 
both gorgeous & guiltridden, and wild, expecially wild. 
In PoA, I really hated Snape, and in GoF, I thought he was losing it, 
going hysterical in his gray nightie. My best friend was all for 
Snape-not-Sirius, and when she showed me what there was to be loved 
in Snape, I fell hard again (wrote a 60 page ff about him). Of course 
it's pathetic to be in love with a figment of someone else's 
imagination, but it's great fun, so why don't we?
I agree that Rowling must love Snape, otherwise she would not be so 
adamant in portraying him as disgusting (which is the students' - 
Harry & co - POV I believe) and at the same time dark, - the black 
eyes for heaven's sake! brooding, tall, and last but not least, noble 
when push comes to shove. We should not forget, what looks ugly to a 
teenager, might look yum to a grown woman. 
There was a post about the body fluids emanating, that was hilarious 
(there is someone in New Zealand who did a PhD on that, the fact that 
people are discriminated against when they are not in control, when 
they leak.) Well, poor Snape surely is the type.
Writing ff all the time lead me to think about Remus, who is indeed 
not as nice and innocent as many readers believe he is. I guess I was 
as shocked as many people when it was Harry, not Remus that stopped 
Sirius from killing that rat; not only did he not stop Sirius, he 
would have done it himself. It was clear from the start that he is a 
werewolf (I can't believe some readers missed that, 'Lupin' 
& 'Remus', come on? Still wondering what the J stands for though) I 
do think he's a wonderful man, but I also believe that he is capable 
of extreme violence, when he deems necessary. 
And that is how I ended up with being in love with all three of them. 
Well, variations in daydreaming, to spice up boring meetings etc, 
there is nothing quite like it.
