Lupin and Sirus... gay?

[Scully931]

Well, when I attended the HP convention in FL, there was a really 
good talk by Connie Neal about looking for Religious references in 
HP. She basically said at the end, that despite finding tons of 
references, she doesn't think JKR wrote the book as a religious 
book, but that in a work of that size, you can find a reference to 
nearly anything you look for be it Christianity, Wicca, etc. 

So, my point is, JKR faces an insurmountable task. Some of her stuff 
is full of symbolism, some is to be taken at face value. But, with 
so many rabid (in the best sense of the word) fans out there, people 
are going to read into every word. The parent's *wouldn't* want a 
werewolf teaching their children. So, if he is to be "just" a 
werewolf, there is very little she can do, short of saying, "I'm 
Remus Lupin - just a werewolf, not gay, asexual, straight, wiccan or 
Christian." Know what I mean?  

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.
