Dumbledore and McGonagall as lovers/married?  If so, they are oddly formal
with one another at the beginning of PS/SS.  McGonagall is surprised that D.
recognizes her in cat form.  Of course, they could have married some time
during Harry's childhood with the Dursleys. Or perhaps they just belong to
that curious generation that calls their spouses Mr. and Mrs. even in the
bedroom.

JKR's answer on this question is ambiguous, as usual:
     >>>>>Have any of the Hogwarts professors had spouses?
      Good question - yes, a few of them, but that information
      is sort of restricted - you'll find out why..<<<<<<<<

She doesn't say they are married to EACH OTHER, just that some of them
have/had spouses.  I'm still in the Mrs. Snape train of thought -- she's
either dead (killed by Voldemort) or still alive and still loyal to
Voldemort.  That would account for Snape's unhappy personality.

I think Dumbledore is probably a widower.  We don't know if Lupin has ever
been married.  McGonagall....??? I dunno.  None of the other professors have
enough "screen time" to matter -- it doesn't seem important at this stage of
the story whether they are married or not.
