* InformedAttribute: Hermione has mentioned she believes there is good in everyone, even a monster like Lucius. She also sees this as a reason why he fell for her. However, even without taking the books or movies into account, Hermione doesn't every display this way of thinking. She has multiple, justified reasons to believe Lucius is a DirtyOldMan and not once considers people like Bellatrix or Antonin capable of redemption. In the books and movies, she tended to come off as abrasive with people. It took Harry and Ron saving her life for her to start opening up with them after all.

He recounts canon incidents from the books, from when they were 12 when she first met Lucius, or when she was 14 and he sent a DeathGlare that made her blush more from shame than attraction. Hermione denies the idea he had any interest in her as she was very much a minor, though given how close he was and how quick he was to deny he intended to rape her, much less show an interest in her, there's the possibility he had some attraction prior to when she was kidnapped.
