Many think that the only reason why Tomarry (not Harrymort) is kind of popular is because Chris Coulson (actor who played him in COS) was was phenomenally good looking and Tom is described as extremely handsome in canon. If that's the case why is Hedric a rare pair and Snarry one of the TOP ships

Look I am not denying Chris Coulson was/is a very, very fine specimen of man. Or that he didnt have a definitive role in making this ship popular.

But that's definitely not the only reason why Tomarry has experienced a burst of popularity.

If looks were the only thing that mattered, why isn't Cedric/Harry a popular pairing? Cedric was played by Rob Pattinson who circa 2005 was very pretty too and he looked good with Radcliffe as well.

Though not as much as Tom, Harry describes Cedric as extremely handsome in book 4 too.

Also they did have neutral to almost friendly interactions.

Still Hedric is not popular ship.

On other hand Snarry is wildly popular, coming behind just Drarry.

Snape is canonically described as a man with oily hair, sallow skin, hooked nose.

Alan Rickman may he rest in peace, was a brilliant and charismatic actor. But he wasn't a conventionally good looking man.

So, I think it's kinda unfair and ignorant to dismiss Tomarry stans as Chris Coulson fan girls.
