Hi all!

Couldn't it just be that he had no chance to get to know a girl he would
like to marry? Not everybode meets his partner at the age of 16! I for
instance net my future husband when he was 22. Sirius must have been about
22 to 24 (we know Snape's and Harry's age and we know that James Sirius and
Severus were at the same class).
It might alo be that him being member of the Order didn't want to endanger a
possible wife...

Yours Finchen
