I'd like to see relationships for them also, but when I've tried to 
envision it, I slam into some brick walls (it's my own lack of 
imagination, I know other folks have successfully done it).  Can you 
imagine Remus saying "Hey baby, how about we go for some Chinese 
tonight?" (For that matter, I can't imagine either Sirius or Remus 
saying "Hey baby...") Seriously, what's he gonna say..."Well, I'm in 
my mid-thirties, I don't have a steady job, and I can't work in my 
profession.  No one outside my immediate family knows how I support 
myself.   I will join the fight against the Dark Lord whenever I'm 
needed; I have to redeem myself, I am a coward.  So don't count on me 
to pick you up on Saturday night, even if we do have a date, I may be 
battling the forces of evil.  And if you want to get together anytime 
during the full moon, forget it. No, I'm not gonna tell you where I am 
or what I'm doing."  Sounds like every girl's dream, doesn't it? (and 
I have a major league crush on him too!)  And Sirius's about the same, 
only he doesn't even have a home and is running from the law.  

I think the main problem with finding `em girlfriends is that they 
both have too much pride to depend on anyone other than themselves.  
Unless either one has something to offer a woman, he ain't gonna play.
