It's their /presance./

Lucuis is written like he's highly atractive.  He has a cane and he's highly 
athoritative.

Snape, meanwhile, is written like he's ugly, but he too has presance and 
acidic wit.  His cloak and robes flare when he moves, he stalks about and has 
peircing black eyes.  You also can't help but wonder, if you're one of his fan 
girls, that if he's in the dungeons all the time that means he wouldn't get 
enough sun to tan, right?

And then you get to thinking about his hair and skin.  Well, he's a potions 
master, and so he has to look into his own potions, and to the less than 
correctly done ones by his students, /and/ has to deal with any longbottom-esq 
mistakes, how much of the "ick" is coating?  I mean I went camping once, with no 
portopotties or anything and the smoke kept blowing in my face and I found twigs 
in my hair and dirt in strange places for two or three days after I got back 
to civilicaztion and took many showers.

But mostly for those two, it's presance, it's denamor, it's the dark and 
broodiness.  It's a bit like the "PrettyUgly Girl" syndrom found often in teen 
movies.
