with Voldemort, but I think even he would be turned off by psycho-
witch Bella.  We don't even see her husband close by her side in the 
fighting, so maybe even he can't stand her.  I just cannot see 
anything in the books to indicate an iota of sexiness there at all.

The books says Bella used to be very beautiful before her Azkaban 
sentence; tall, with black hair. Sounds sexy enough (according to 
popular belief; men go by looks alone anyway :-) Of course she has 
lost most of her good looks due to her imprisonment. But there's one 
thing she's still got: Power and "radiance". Sure, it's evil, but 
just look around, and you see that there are plenty of men who are 
attracted to the "bad woman"-type. Pop and rock artists play along 
with this notion all the time; just look at Madonna, or Pink with her 
devil outfit... I doubt any man with sense would want to marry a 
woman like Bella, but being fascinated by it and fantazising about it 
is an entirely different matter... :-)

That said, I'm sure none of the male characters like Harry, Ron or 
the men in the Order find her the least bit attractive! Because 
they've met her, and when meeting the "real thing" any man would soon 
discover there's not much to love about "evilness".

Compare it with Ollivander's words about Voldemort: He was truly 
fascinated by Voldie's power and skills even though he used them 
badly. Likewise it's possible to be intrigued (just in passing) by a 
powerful, once beautiful but now evil woman...
