Lubrication spells don't really bother me. Like others have said, it all depends on the setting. A lot of my ideas for my slashfic come from my gay friends, all of whom assure me of the following:
1) Lube is not always available, nor do most men carry it around.
2) Saliva can work, but if you don't use enough it just gets crusty and causes pain/annoyance.
3) When in doubt, leave it out. Blowjobs and handjobs work fine. Salad dressing, hot sauces, and anything else with spices or extremely strong chemicals should not be used as substitutes because they hurt like a biznatch.
So really, if Harry and Draco are getting it on in the closet, they're not going to have flavoured lubricant available.
Otherwise, I've never written about condom usage [because I buy flavoured condoms just to lick them and I'd feel bad ficcing that; yes, I am insane] and the strangest lube I ever used was a melted candy cane.
