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.
