I think part of the problem is that writers tend to rush to the nitty-gritty, bypassing flirtation, innuendo and courtship to get straight to teh hot sex. Casablanca is all about unspoken passion.
I thought emmagrant01's Left my Heart had two great kissing scenes in Chapter 4 (http://archive.skyehawke.com/story.php?no=4093&chapter=4) and Chapter 5 (http://archive.skyehawke.com/story.php?no=4093&chapter=5). At that point in the story, Harry and Draco are skirting around their feelings for each other; they both not sure how far to take their attraction. Both kisses show hints of what's to come. I thought the author did a great job communicating a heart-racing thrill that happens when you kiss someone you really like for the first time... and the passion.
I love kissing, by the way, I find it can be pretty erotic on its own.
