Wait you're missing some! While perhaps not traditional, we should keep this 
fair...

Dumbledore. So he's a little old - to a muggle. This is a world where a 
wizard probably around 170 years, is still working and 70 is consider 
"spritely".
One of the things people find so appealing about Lupin is the descriptions 
of his pitiable appearance. Well Dumbledore is described as "suddenly 
looking old" or "tired".
Snape supporters sometimes cite an attraction to power. Not only power, but 
great power. Not only great power, but *restrained* great power. If there is 
a better candidate for this than Albus I'd like to see 'em. We saw this in 
GoF, and we see it again in the end of OotP.
And what's his big mistake? Having compassion on a boy and wanting him to 
have a normal childhood. His greatest flaw? Love. That tear, you CAN'T 
forget the tear.
Plus he's intelligent, has a great sense of humor, twinkling eyes, peculiar 
fashion sense, brave, a leader, defender (I actual let out an audible "Ha!" 
when he said Trelawny could stay), likes music, and has his own Wizard Card.
The way he treats Harry? Ummm... emotionally unavailable, a challenge, which 
is attractive to some. ^_^

Moody. Thrills people at parties with his disappearing eye trick! Brings his 
own drinks. Handy for looking into all those locked items and finding the 
studs behind walls. Willing to share (he lends out his Invisibility Cloak). 
Even though it back fires I believe his heart was in the right place with 
that picture. Knows how to make good come backs (I laughed when he told 
Vernon off). Believes in wand safety (I never knew what danger I had placed 
my buttocks in before this book!)
Scars. Scars = Sexy.

Voldemort. Evil + Power + Cruelty + Sadistic sense of humor + A snake = 
sometimes sexy. I think the one moment in OotP that would elevate his sexy 
level was the whole "Bella" thing (I don't think he's her dad, EW). Glowing 
eyes, I could say something really crude, but I won't. Trust me, glowing 
eyes.

Filch. Okay this is getting a little harder than I expected. If there's one 
thing I've learned in various fandoms - EVERYONE has at least one fan. 
Someone, somewhere, finds Filch sexy even if they're afraid to admit it, 
mark my words. Honestly, though, the only thing I could think of was, "Whip 
me, beat me, hang me up by the ankles with chains!" I feel dirty now, ew.

Fudge. Perfect for the Dominator in all of us. Yelling at him to "pick up 
the money!"

Mundugus Fletcher. Mmm, well, who hasn't had a boyfriend that asked you to 
keep dodgy items for them, or showed up for food and a place to sleep.

Who has a headache from the roofers, had strange dreams about making Snape 
wash his hair, thinks Lupin just too sexy, and found more canon for her 
Miranda Goshawk cork!
