Ironically, I've always thought the opposite -- any character that is 
fat or ugly is also evil, stupid or both.  Vernon, his sister and Dudley 
are all of the above, Petunia is "horse-faced" and abusive.  Pettigrew is 
fat and probably ugly.  Fudge is fat.  LV is ugly (tho' 16 yo TR was not).  
Most Slytherins are described as ugly in some way (Crabbe and Goyle, Flint,
Bulstrode).  Hagrid and Neville aren't evil, but they are generally
portrayed as having unflattering looks and being somewhat stupid.

About the only exceptions are the Malfoys, they get away with being
beautiful and evil.
