Yolanda here:
Actually, she's been on his s**t list since he 
found out about what he did/helped to do to 
Neville's parents.  The Sirius incident just 
moved her name closer to the top (if that's 
possible).

No, it wasn't just you.  If I remember correctly, 
every description of her has been pretty sultry.  
She was described as having heavily-lidded eyes 
and black hair.  She also appeared arrogant 
which for some reason, to me, falls in with the 
idea of a sensual dark witch who knows how good 
she looks.  She was described pretty positively 
considering she's one of the bad guys.

And on a sidenote that I don't want to think about, 
Parvati and Cho both have long dark hair.  Harry 
may like dark haired women.  I think McGonagal's 
safe though.  To be fair, both Cho and Parvati 
are described as pretty so their dark hair may 
just be a coincidence.

I doubt it.  Harry may be intrigued by/attracted 
to her because of her striking looks, but I just 
don't see him having any trouble blasting her.

She's morally repulsive.  Harry won't be able to 
get past that.

Yolanda again:
If that happens, then I'd want to see Hermione 
being her usual perceptive self, seeing right 
through her, and warning Harry and Ron who of 
course will be too busy listening to the siren 
song of their hormones to heed Hermione's warning.

As for appearance, I'm picturing a high heel 
wearing, Slytherin alumnus with long, dark hair.  
Oh no, I'm back to the "long, dark hair" again.

I better end this now.
