This intrigues me, Erin!  I'm wondering if others might weigh in w/ 
their opinions about the Malfoys, too.  Because I'm thinking perhaps 
it's more of the Dreaded Movie Contamination which puts Draco, at 
least, into this category of handsome guys.  

Now me:
Absolutely agree.  Definitely movie contamination.  The Malfoy's were 
described as pale faced and thin, not to mention cruel.  The actors 
cast to play them are seriously good looking and ::very:: sexy.  
Suddenly everyone is crushing on Lucius and Draco. (Well perhaps just 
me...No...Didn't think so.)  ;-) 

JKR, in her last interview at the Royal Albert Hall, said we are all 
getting far to fond of Draco, and I'm convinced it's because of the 
movies, as in the books he is still this weak little twerp.  Now in 
the end of OotP Draco is finally showing some gumption and rising to 
take hold of some power and use it, and nothing is more attractive to 
a woman than power.  So, to follow the books alone Draco should only 
now becoming attractive to us, but I confess he's been an attraction 
since just after GoF, when the first movie came out.

Now what about Snape?  In the books he is definitly ugly and very 
unattractive.  JKR takes every opportunity to describe him as such, 
but in the movie...Alan Rickman, although not a handsome man in the 
conventional sense, is very attractive and damned sexy.  Does he 
qualify?  

Handsome is in the eye of the beholder right?  So just who qualifies 
as handsome?  And how do men and women differ in who qualifies? All I 
can do is speak for myself and for me it's always the bad guys. Hey I 
even find Lord Voldemort attractive
..trust me it's the power 
thing
.it is really
.OK
.I'm leaving now.
