MMmmmmm.  I love Colin Firth  (have any of you see "Pride and 
Prejudice" with him?), and I agree with you that he can convey the 
subtext quite well.   I'm thinking that he could really play either 
Sirius or Remus.  Well, I certainly wouldn't complain either way!
I see Remus as being kind and haunting (hey, he's a werewolf, right?) 
and CF can definitely show that.  In fact, I think I've talked myself 
into liking CF as Remus more than EM.  Tho', who doesnt love Ewan??

Glad Im not the casting director.  I'd have to find some kind of a 
role for Christian Bale, too.  He can play young guys -- Cedric, 
anyone?
