Lupin and Sirus... gay?

[sopraniste]

I have hesitated to weigh in on this thread, because I wanted to have
all my ducks in a row before I said anything. I watched the movie last
night, so I'm ready now.

I'd like to start by saying that I do not believe Lupin is gay, but
that I have no problem with others believing that he is. Okay, have I
stepped on any toes yet? No? Gooooood.

My main objection is the scene between Harry and Lupin on the bridge,
when everybody's in Hogsmeade, and they get talking about Lily and
James. He says some nice things about James, of course, the guy was
one of his best friends after all, but this scene made it VERY clear
to me that poor Remus was in love with Lily! I thought this was a very
nice addition, and it made me like poor Remus (who was already my
favorite character) all the more. It never occurred to me until it
came up on the list that others might see him as gay.
