Ok just now catching up to this thread...didn't realize I was mentioned by
name!  Spent too much time trying to work yesterday...silly me.  Left about
50 some odd messages in my in box...serves me right to let this group slide!

Oooo can we start a Sirius is sexy thread again! This is an interesting
point (the question of whether James is sexy...its also interesting that
Sirius is definitely sexy, but thats not what this thread is about... yet).
My guess is that he (James) was very attractive.  Smart, atheletic,
talented, and seems like a very courageous and generally a good guy.  He did
save Snape from Lupin after all.  Plus he looks like Harry, what's there not
to love about that.  Seems like we should all be swooning over this guy.
But he is fated to marry Lily and then die...which doesn't give people much
space to form fantasies.

With a non-dead unmarried guy like Sirius you are free to fantasize without
having to worry about adultery or necrophilia for that matter.

Trying to keep up with all these interesting threads.
