Yes...Yes...Yes!!! I loved your post! I think JKR killed Sirius 
because Lupin is a better father/mentor figure for Harry.  Lupin 
would not interfere with Harry/Sirius while Sirius was alive.  He 
would defer to Sirius' role of Godfather. He may give Siruis advice 
about Harry but he would never try and take the "front seat" from 
Sirius.

However, with Sirius gone, Lupin is the last remaning tie to 
James/Lily.  (you can't count Petunia - you can but who wants to)I 
will never buy the ESE Lupin theories.  Instead, I think Harry and 
Remus will be together in the final showdown.  Lets just hope they 
don't get killed.

Also - I agree with the Lily/sister/friend not Remus in love with 
Lily.  Remus has trouble with girls. (at least one would assume 
being a werewolf is not a big plus with the ladies - lots of fur but 
no money). Lily can give him the support his friends (being guys) 
cannot.  At least that was my take on the bridge scene.
