Catlady responded with

I suppose you have a point. :-) However, Madam Rosmerta isn't so much a 
character as a plot device. For one thing, we don't know the colour of her 
eyes (at least, I don't think so). :-) In any event, she (and other 
potentially "desirable" adult female characters) are in no way as well 
defined, or even sketched out, as the men.

Thanks to everyone else who replied to my original musings, but part of my 
original point in which I'm interested and which I don't think I put across 
very well is this: doing a bit of self-psychoanalysis, to what extent do 
you ladies think that you like certain adult male characters (Sirius, 
Remus, Severus, Lucius) because of "crushes" primarily, and only then start 
analysing why you're attracted to them?

I'm certain that I'm going off into OT-land here, so any replies might 
possibly be better addressed to the OT group...

GulPlum, not sure whether the above has come across less delicately than 
intended :-)
