For me I can say with utter confidence that it's *not* Rickman.  
When Snape first swooped into the Potions classroom I sat up and 
took notice.  I *was* pleased when I realized Rickman would be 
playing him in the films, because I do like Rickman.  However, the 
more I got to know canon!Snape, the less pleased with Rickman I 
was.  And now I firmly seperate the two men.  When I picture Snape I 
don't picture Rickman.

Lucius Malfoy is a different story.  I have such a hard time 
seperating canon!Lucius from the actor (spaced on the name, sorry) 
that I cannot honestly say that any attraction there isn't the fault 
of the incredibly sexy actor with his non-canon pimp cane, and non-
canon flowing blond locks.  (The actor does a great job with the bad-
boy stuff.  But I'm not sure canon!Lucius would have pulled that 
aspect out all by himself.)

But Snape is sexy all by his hot little self. :)

Betsy Hp:
Girl, you're never "too old"! <g>  I'm totally waiting in the wings 
for Harry and Draco to hit legal age.   I do think Draco has a 
certain "Lord Peter Whimsy" appeal to him, that I think he could 
well achieve once he grows up a bit.

Betsy Hp:
If we're talking actual *relationships* that does narrow the pool 
considerably, I think.  Because while JKR's men are hot, they're 
also pretty disturbed.  I think Ron (when he grows up) is probably 
the most stable of the main characters.  Though, Draco could give 
Ron a bit of a run.  He's had the most stable relationship, IMO, in 
the Potterverse, with his comfortable friendship morphing into 
dating thing with Pansy.  Plus, you know Draco is even more of a 
family guy than Ron is. <eg>
