I am also interested in seeing this quote from myself.

Well, it could be *unrequited* love, although I'm a tentative supporter 
of LOLLIPOPS, myself.

However, I disagree strongly that JKR wouldn't put "such a 
relationship" in the books.  Oh, I don't think she'd hit us over the 
head with something like  "Narcissa Malfoy is cheating on Lucius with 
Severus Snape! That means they're having SEX!"

But I *do* think she might have something subtler, such as "Narcissa 
Malfoy was forced by societal/familial/economic pressure to marry 
Lucius, but the love that she and Snape share is still strong."

I'm not saying that I think JKR would endorse extramarital affairs, 
just that she's the type of author that would go ahead and put them in 
her book if she wanted to.

It's that always the way?
