Hm. OOC pairings... This is a hard one. Because I'm often a rare-pair 'shipper & reviewers have often told me that I've made some very unlikely pairings (e.g. Grawp/Dennis Creevey, Tonks/Olympe, Lucius/Moody, Remus/Fridwulfa etc) believable... one of the best compliments a writer can be paid! :D
But the pairings I think are extremely OOC are:
Lucius/anybody Muggle-born. Because he's probably too snooty to want to touch a "Mudblood".
Lucius/any Muggle. See above.
Snape/Tonks. Not just 'cos it's het & I'm not really a het fan, or because I dislike the pairing, but I just can't see it happening.
Any giant/any house-elf. Do the math. ;)
There are probably more, but those are the main ones that come to my mind.
Some believable pairings for me: Lucius/Draco (the ultimate in pure-bloodedness!) Harry/Hagrid. A lot of emotional closeness there... Moody/Shacklebolt. Auror bonding... Lucius/Macnair or Lucius/Snape - Death Eater bonding or Slytherin bonding Ginny/Tonks - sweet girly closeness. Awww... Lucius/Arthur. The ultimate love-hate relationship... Dobby/Winky. Cute despite all the dysfunction. Filch/Mrs Norris. Hee. Just hee. Cho/Luna. The Ravenclaw-ness of it all...
