Potioncat:
Being fat is never considered to be a positive trait in RL, but it is 
often treated as a negative one.

However, with that cheery note, and just off the top of my head. On 
the good side we have plump Molly and heavy Sprout. Slughorn can go 
either way (good or bad). Ted Tonks is heavy. The Fat Lady is shown 
as being brave.

We have boney Petunia. Harry is scrawny which seems to be better than 
boney. Snape is thin. LV is very thin.

I don't think I really have a point here....just a variety of 
examples.
