"Lupin and whoever"?  Now, now, does poor Lupin have to be 
celibate 
for life?  For all we know, he's married with three kids.

I have no illusions that any characters will turn out to be gay/bi in
canon--though it would be nice, IMHO--but what's unreal about it?  
There's
just as much canon support for Harry/Ron as for Harry/Hermione or
Harry/Ginny or just about any other pairing:  that is to say, 
practically
none.

OK...that's valid.  But what I meant to say was with Lupin, I have 
him set in my mind as the sexy lady killer (no pun intended on the 
werewolf thing there) and the idea that he's a lover of one of the 
other Marauders made me pout.  I DO like the idea that he'd be 
married to some poor woman who has to deal with 
his....ahem...problem every month.  You know....FMS...Full Moon 
Syndrome.  :-)

Anyway...

It would be interesting if JK did put some sort of gay/bi relationship 
in the story somewhere for the fact that it would be interesting to 
see how she'd write it.

Oh, the thrill of the chase as I soar through the air
With the Snitch up ahead and the wind in my hair
As I draw ever closer, the crowd gives a shout
But then comes a Bludger and I am knocked out.
