 Sirius and Remus <snip>  Personally I still think the flashback in 
the pensieve adds even more evidence to the gay!Sirius idea - I think 
he has a crush on James, no wonder he's got so many problems by OotP!

Mandy here,
There is plenty of sexuality, heterosexual and homosexual in the 
story if you look for it.  Sirius was definitly in love with James, 
Remus is in love with Sirius, Peter was in love with James and 
Sirius, and James loved Lily.  Unrequited love is so powerful. No 
wonder they were so messed up! ;-)

It is a shame that we can accept violence in the story more readily 
than overt sexuality, but we do have the question of an age limit.  
It's perverted to think of it, but it is some how acceptable for a 
underage boy to experience torture and death but not sex!!  Ah well, 
I think it will all change in the next two books.  Remember the age 
of consent in Britain is 16, not 18 as it is in the US.  So I'm 
expecting some *action* to be taking place soon.  Of course by action 
I don't mean sex, this is a childeren's book remember but a little 
bit of seduction......?  

Kneasy brought up the point of the lack of Temptation in the HP saga 
and I agree with him.  Did any one else notice how Harry was 
inexplicibly drawn to pictures of Bellatrix whenever he saw one?  I 
though it was interesting. Now she is on his s**t list because of the 
incident with Sirius, but why introduce such a powerfully sexual 
woman (Am I projecting here?  Is it only me who sees her as overtly 
sexual?  I know it's not canon but there is something about 
Bellatrix...) and not use her.  Can we expect to see the sexual 
seduction of Harry by Bellatrix?  I would love to see him stuggle 
with that one: "What should I do? AK her now....or kiss her first?" 

If not Bellatrix, what about the new DADA teacher?  I've been 
expecting the arrival of a young, beautiful female teacher for the 
last 2 books.  The kind of teacher all the boys fall in love with and 
fantasize about. Kind of like the stereotype of the sexy French 
Language mistress.  After all the girls had Lockheart in CoS and we 
all know boys are a couple of years behind the girls in the whole sex 
thing anyway, so it's my desire to see a sexy female professor, 
secretly working for LV who's sent to Hogwarts with the goal of 
seducing the kids (boys and girls) over to the dark side and become 
DE's.

All right that's enough of that. 

Mandy.
