Very excellent point. We are all here (I assume) because we love 
these stories and characters and love to delve into them and 
hypothesize about them. It is alot of fun. I also agree that there is 
more canon that could indicate a relationship between Remus and 
Sirius that is other than just best friends, than for some of the 
other theories I've read. Either way, they are all fun to think 
about. Well, I take that back - I don't like to think of Lupin as 
gay. I *only* say that because I LOVE Lupin and being a heterosexual 
female, thinking of him as gay would really put a damper on my 
fantasies. HA! :)
