"I must confess, with similar embarassment, that due to her character's
bizarre behavior and name, I very much expected that Luna Lovegood 
would turn out to be a werewolf, vampire or have some other lunar-
referenced mystical affliction." 

Ken says:

Never mind the Luna what about the Lovegood?  With a name like that I 
suspect she will soon have a startling effect on the hormones of the 
male characters.  Luna as temptress?
