Let's not forget that he wasn't always a whispy, filthy, grimy, 
emaciated skeleton.  In PoA, Harry looks at the photo album and sees 
Sirius is "...handsome, full of laughter".  Couple that with a "if 
he's good enough for James & Lily, he's good enough for me" vibe, and 
that pretty much describes why I find Sirius so special.  

Not to take anything away from my real crush (Lupin), of course!
