I think that is a very good point Del. One of the reasons why I 
think Fleur is so interesting is her inhuman ancestory. Considering 
that she is not even half veela but still has pretty formidable 
powers I would venture that Veela genes are very dominant will take 
a long time to dilute to any significant degree. Also considering 
that her race seems to be completely female I wonder if somehow 
Fleur might not be establishing her status as the alpha female in 
the group--'cause lets face it, that girl's got more alpha in her 
pinkie than the other three women combined.
