Mandy here:

Yes a huge gap!  Although Rowling did manage to pull Harry in to a 
greater sexual awareness with the introduction of all the female 
characters in OOP.   His narrow awareness of women grew from noticing 
just schoolgirls and mother/teachers, to include other grown sexual 
females, in other words `women' in the last book.

I can see three that exist already in the story so far:

Prime Suspect - Tonk.  Beautiful, sexy, only 20 something so the age 
is right.  He idolizes her being an Aura and she can change her 
appearance at will.  What a male fantasy!  Different girl every 
night!  Question is she ESE!Tonks? 

Luna.  Not likely, although if she is ESE!Luna then she is doing a 
great job on playing up the little girl lost so we're soul mates 
angle.  Not a conventional seductress though.

Bellatrix:  My personal favorite.  She may be too old for him but 
what boy ever suffered from the lessons learned from an older 
mistress?  Evil, beautiful, irresistible
.say no more

Narcissa:  Could turn out to be a Metamorphagus like her niece.  
Although I have a personal fantasy that she is already having an 
affair with ESE!Lupin and they both swapping secrets.
