I realize this means assigning more than one role to the same character, and 
I don't want to squick anybody.  But speaking purely in terms of plot, didn't 
Voldemort fill that role in OotP?

He caught Harry's interest with a seemingly innocuous, perhaps even 
beneficial series of visions, then lured him gradually into a trap, turning him against 
his friends and allies along the way.  And Harry went willingly, blinded by 
his own curiosity to all the good reasons why he shouldn't.  I'd have to call 
that a form of seduction, albeit it not in the physical sense.
