Bart:
More precisely, love of the strange. It's a play on "Xenophobia", which 
is an unreasoning fear of the unknown. Artist/writer Phil Foglio created 
an "adult" comic book series called "Xxxenophilia", which specialized in 
stories of humans and science fiction/fantasy creatures in generally 
humorous sexual situations. There was also a collectible card game based 
on the series, which was widely awaited until it was discovered that 
Foglio did not have much to do with the game. It was sufficiently well 
known that I would be greatly surprised in JKR was unfamiliar with it.
