Alla:

Sure, but I actually agree with the expression "the guy needs to be just a tad more handsome than a Satan" ;). This is an awkward translation from Russian, but the gist is the same. What I am trying to say that while Krum is not exactly my type, I can see him oozing manly appeal if that makes sense. And of course I agree that the fact that he is a famous Quidditch player certainly is one of the reason why girls (and boys) were after him.
