Brenda now:

YEP, MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY. CAN'T AGREE WITH YOU MORE!! [Sorry, Cap 
wasn't on, was me going hyper] Thank you so much Justine (and 
Stephanie and HunterGreen) for bringing that up. Actually, I was 
talking to Valky last night and we briefly noted this quote. IMO 
there are 2 possibilities here:

1) JKR simply did not put much thought into Sirius' sexual 
orientation, she just assumed he fancies women.
2) She had heard many Sirius-Remus shippers and wanted to give out 
subtle clues.

Either way Sirius is JKR's creation and if she hadn't thought about 
it then neither did he.

I thought her comment on "too busy being a rebel" meant that he was 
too busy with the war and the Order. Not that fighting in a war is a 
rebellious thing to do, hehe, but I just figured dating wasn't really 
on his mind. Picking up women OTOH is a different story ;)

Absolutely loving manslut womanizer Sirius!!! Imagine covered-in-
leather rich manslut on a hot motocycle!!! *drools*

> I admit, I've been thinking this too.  However, I wonder if the 
rest of the sentence of "If Sirius had married...." would have 
been, "If Sirius had married, then Harry might have had a 
godmother."  Godparents don't have to be married, but since it 
appears that the godparents are also the guardians, then if Sirius 
WAS married then the wife WOULD be a guardian as well. <<<

Brenda:

Well... I don't know how godparents are appointed, but the fact that 
Sirius was married would not necessarily hint that his wife is 
Harry's godmother. Wouldn't it be Lily's turn to choose her baby's 
godmother?


>>> Lilyp wrote:
The marital status of Sirius was mentioned because someone wiil have 
to inherit Grimmauld Place. Now we know for sure there isn't any wife 
or child. Who's his heir? <<<

Brenda:

You have brought up a valid point, although everyone pretty much 
assumed that Sirius wasn't married. I don't know if anyone had asked 
her whether Sirius got married? I am personally rooting for the 
Weasleys to inherit Sirius' gold, though highly unlikely. They really 
deserve it!


>>> Lissa:
> Well, they WERE 21 when Voldie fell.  I actually thought James and 
Lily were awfully young to get married, and have wondered if 
they "had" to get married at times. <<<

I second. I third. I fourth.


>>> Lissa: I've also wondered if they weren't together before 
Azkaban, but got together in the time afterwards. <<<

Brenda:

Well, I think if R-S pairing is indeed true *cries me a river* then 
it happened after Azkaban. If Sirius was gay then I believe his 
interest would have been James more like than Remus. I think James 
had him wrapped around in his snitchy-little fingers, with his 
brilliance and hatred for Dark ARts and arrogance. We see Sirius 
teasing Remus in OoP and making some thoughtless comment, but he is 
always there for James.

Although I believe if he did have feelings for James then the obvious 
rejection will make him despise James, IMO.

Besides, he will never hide it, being the obnoxious arrogant berk he 
is.

And after Hogwarts... Remus was suspected to be the spy so no 
relationship there, not even friendly one.


>>> (There's also always the possibility that they were bi.)

Oh my, don't even want to think about that.


>>> Lissa: Given that she says she'd love to actually meet Lupin, and 
he's a wonderful person, I'd guess that ESE!Lupin isn't an option.  
But maybe Pippin's got something close... Lupin's trying to give the 
DEs the impression he's ESE?  And maybe that's why he couldn't be at 
the christening, because he was spying on the DEs, or the creatures 
allied to the death eaters? <<<

Brenda: 

I think Lupin wasn absent from the christening (or the wedding) as 
they already suspected him to be the spy. Had a fall-out. If Lupin 
was spying on DEs from DD's order, why on earth would he keep it from 
the Mauraders?!

Assuming that Lupin was once a spy for the Order - why hasn't he 
resumed his old position NOW? We only see Snape giving reports. What 
did Lupin do that made him untrustworthy in Voldy's eyes? AND he gets 
away with it? [no mention of Lupin or likewise from Voldy anywhere, 
no grudges, no plans to kill, nothing]

No, I think ESE!Lupin works better with the story. Only Voldemort 
knows this. Oops, left out Pippin there ;). Which reminds me, how is 
your ESE!Lupin report going? You KNOW we are dying to overanalyze 
it ;P
