Kneasy (sweating slightly):
Yes please! 
Not quite the sort of temptation I had in mind, but who cares?
I've always been firmly of the opinion that what every 17 y.o. boy
really needs is Tina Turner. And Bella is about the closest Harry
is going to get.  Impressionable young lad that he is, he wouldn't
stand a chance. A lamb to the slaughter.

I've often moaned about the lack of a femme fatale, too. This could
get very, very interesting.

Kneasy:
These are plot lines that I can live with. I may well write to JKR with
suggestions and a plea that the next book have an illustrated edition.

More seriously though, she was  very good at the basic ineptitude of 
young males starting out on life's rich tapestry  in GoF. It would set up
some nice tensions too, but I  doubt she would do more than hint at
the potential for mass mayhem. Flitwick  would have spasms  and
McGonagall would have kittens. How would  DD deal with this? Dose
the pumpkin juice, presumably.

However, a hormonal dilemma over Bella could be a serious possibility.
