Alla:


Katie, whether JKR was teasing or not in OoP, I agree that it could 
be read as Sirius and Remus being together and I applauded her for 
that, even though Sirius and Remus are not my favourite slash couple, 
I much prefer well done Sirius/Snape. :)


I doubt that she will make any of the characters openly gay, mainly 
because she has enough battles to fight with the people, who are 
prejudiced against the books for religious reasons, etc.

But I think that she may surprise us still.
