Otoh we only have Harry's - not very reliable, imo - word for it that all Slytherins are ugly. For instance he dislikes Draco from first sight (without D. having given offence yet), it seems to be just a chemistry thing, and then descibes him as pale and pointy-faced (which mustn't necessarily mean ugly). So it can well be that he just can't see ANYTHING positive in any Slytherin, not even physical attractiveness, however insignificant this attractiveness may be for the issues at hand. Millicent may be a big girl and not conform to certain beauty standards, but must she be ugly? I personally tend to see her as a kind of Valkyrie, tall and strong, and certainly intimidating to a little slip of a male, but with a certain majesty included. Of course, I, being a little pro-Slytherin tend to do the opposite from Harry and equip them with more positive features... :-/
