Okay, I have never been one for MWPP and I wasn't impressed with 
Lupin in this book (Liked him alot in PoP), but after reading posts 
explaining his grief, he went up some points for me.

Sirius lost points for me in this book. Harry has an excuse for angst 
being a teen; Sirius, yes has had a rough time, but God - grow up!

I do like him too! Can't wait to learn more about him. Does sound 
sexy...

Guys that make me laugh are awesome! I honestly thought I would marry 
a comedian - not a computer geek, but my husband makes my sides hurt 
with laughter.

Harry is awesome! I like  what "jenny_ravenclaw" wrote about him. I 
totally agree!

He's going into the jerk category soon, although aren't most guys 
until they're 23?

Okay, as many of you know, for some reason I absolutely love this 
man! Probably the whole female "attraction to the wrong man" 
mentality. Totally bummed he's not MOM! Wondering how he's going to 
get out of jail (and he better!) and what song he'll sing to get back 
into good society graces again, while still working for Voldy. I am 
upset with how JK treated him. He's a Malfoy - he deserves better! I 
give him the acronym: LIPS - Lucius Is Personally Sexy!

The grey underwear killed me! Please, use some OxyClean! I was never 
a fan of his. Never understood anyone's attraction to him in the 
first place, and then I discovered Lucius' sexiness. Again, I'm in 
the minority.

Too true!
 
I must add Star Opal's adding of a certain man to the list. I 
sincerely started crying with the first line, but the studs sent me 
under!!!!
