I agree with Kel, I think Viggo Mortensen would make an excellent Sirius.  
Alas, he's as American as apple pie.

The actor who plays Faramir, David Wenham, is Australian.  As long as 
Rowling is insisting on a British cast, he's out of the running as well.

Sean Bean plays Boromir, and I would consider him for Lupin.  It's somewhat 
difficult for me to picture him in the role after LOTR, but that certainly 
doesn't mean he can't pull it off.  I think he could definitely look the 
part, judging by some photos I've seen.

I don't know anymore...  I'm trying to wean myself off speculating.  ;-)  
Many people have mentioned some outstanding actors for both Remus and 
Sirius.  I'm having trouble picturing all the actors in the roles, since 
these roles seem somewhat unique (and subject to change - who knows what the 
roles will be like when it comes time to film OoP?).  If I could sit in on 
the casting auditions, I may be surprised.  Perhaps some actors that I love 
couldn't pull off the roles after all.  I'm going to TRY to leave the 
casting in the capable (God willing!) hands of the casting director.  
*shrug*  We'll have to wait and see, for a horrifyingly long time.  :-)
