I believe you on the ages and the relative age/gender balance, so you 
don't have to give me direct citations. Hmm. There are good canonical 
reasons why these aforementioned bachelors don't seem (or as far as 
we know) to have anything going on. Sirius is a wanted man on the 
run, who's spent years in jail, Lupin's a werewolf, and Snape doesn't 
wash his hair (with all that we've agreed this reflects in his 
character). There's not much that shows that Rowling is planning or 
is extremely likely to do this, but I think it might be interesting, 
especially as a counterpoint to any younger romance. Plus it might 
let me get my sailing skills working again.
