Yep, you are right <g>.

I come from a couple fandom where males are just about non-existent
on the lists (at least, is they are there, they don't say
anything).

I guess HP is a "crushless" fandom for me.

I'm there for the trio's friendship and interaction, and the
fascinating WW, and the action/adventure.

For crushes I have my husband and other fandoms with adult
guys <g>.

Snape is definitely not on my crush list, personality wise,
and Sirius isn't, either (I talked about my gut feeling
about him in other posts) and Lupin doesn't light my fire,
either, I guess.

Maybe there just isn't enough there, canonwise, but then,
the books concentrate on Harry mostly, and Ron and Hermione,
which suits me just fine.
