I suspect that Veelas are another mythological
reference that JKR has slipped into  her books, this
time from Ulysses - Sirens.

Now, I agree that this is one possibility (you'll
forgive me for snipping your support; consider it
point taken) but I wanted to air my theory on the
Veela.

I had assumed them to be related to the Willis (or, in
German: Vilja) who IIRC figure in Germanic mythology
somewhere. I'm most familiar with them from the second
act of the ballet Giselle. Basically, they take
revenge on men who jilt their ladies by DANCING them
to death!

Flop
