I'm sorry but you just do not write characters as
having silvery blond hair if you want to stop the
audience from crushing on them. Draco's hair is by far
the most convincing component of any argument for his
eventual redemption, imho. <

Hmm... Far be it from me to stand in the way of Draco's redemption <grin>, 
but I'm not sure I buy that about his hair color.

As a natural blonde (no, really <grin>), I've noticed something, and was 
wondering if anyone else had picked up on it. Are there ANY truly likable 
blonds in the books?

I can't find any. Let's see -- Lucius and Narcissa, Draco, Petunia, Dudley, 
Fleur, the Creeveys (OK, only irritating and annoying here, but still), 
Ludo Bagman, Rita Skeeter, Gilderoy Lockhart.

Find me a good blond, or I'm starting the Society for Protection Against 
Slander and Libel Against Blonds. SPA SLAB, anyone? <grin>
