Najwa:
I do find Snape attractive, but I suppose that is due to the gothic
look that Alan Rickman pulled off quite nicely, and I do adore Alan
Rickman, so perhaps I'm attracted to the movie Snape, and not the
drawings in the book. However I do find his snideness attractive at
times but I hate the way he deals with Harry and Neville. 

As for Sirius, I really wasn't fond of him in that way. I loved him 
for what he gave Harry, hope and a father figure, but he was just too 
much of a bad boy for me and near the end of his life he was 
reckless, and I am quite done with that type. 

Lupin was great because he was intelligent, and the way I imagined 
him was a sad man who was probably quite handsome had he smiled more 
and had less stress to deal with. He has a nice personality as well and if he just didn't slip up and forget his potion that night, I'd have called him completely dependable. 

Arthur Weasley is a great dad, and a great husband, and that's great, 
but I don't find him sexy. Lockhart is completely annoying, onceited, and untrustworthy, and I don't care if he was Adonis or close to him. 

I really don't think up until now I can say that anyone of JKR's men
would suit my tastes, but to be quite honest I'd probably say the
person who came closest to it would be Dumbledore. He has an odd sense
of humor, he was very intelligent, and even though I'm not into beards
or long hair I would have probably not cared because of all of the
other characteristics that he has. The age gap is huge though, so that
would be an issue. 

As for JKR's boys, well since they are boys in the book I technically
feel bad, but since they were all pretty much born in 1980, which is
the year of my birth, I can consider them my age. Ron is definitely
not my type, great guy and all, and I'd probably love to be his
friend, but he's too thickheaded and lacks effort and intellect in my
humble opinion. He can be a real pig. I know JKR loves the idea of
opposites attracting, and is probably inspired by Pride and Prejudice,
or so I have read by many Ron-Hermione shippers in the past, however I
don't think she did it right for me to accept it. 

I was always a Harry-Hermione shipper, because they just seem right 
for each other in my opinion. Harry's great, but his putting Ginny 
off so he can do his job was a big let down. Sure he feels he needs 
to protect her, but I don't think it matters much anymore because 
they were already known as a couple and I'm sure the junior DEs 
found out, plus she is a Weasley and related to his best mate, and the daughter of two OOtP members. As a whole, the girl is in danger, 
so just let her tag along and be in love while you still can; her 
brother and Hermione will be there for God's sake. That is my 
argument to Harry. Anyway I have rambled on enough about this subject.

Najwa, who thinks JKR is an excellent writer but lacks in the romantic
chemistry portion of her writing.
