Shelley:

You just can't resist having fun at the fun parts, and this is one of them!

When I mentioned this scene and asked my daughter what she thought of it, at 
first she didn't get it. Then I said, "imagine you are Hermione, and then 
you are Polyjuiced into Harry- now change your clothes to match Harry's." 
She didn't think of the underwear- she just replied that "Harry's wearing a 
bra!"

If I were Harry, that's what would freak me out- seeing my "male" body in 
some Victoria Secret bra and underpants, because you know Fleur would have 
had a hot set of underclothing. Thus her line might be a little misleading 
"don't look at my face, it's horrible" could really mean that she suddenly 
doesn't like the rest of her body either, and she's using her face as just 
the distraction.
