Uh - so? I don't get your point here at all. Why should having a gay couple
(let's stick with the Puppies - Sirius and Remus for simplicity's sake) be
related to what age the readers are? I don't want to see them having sex on
the kitchen table (well OK I *do* but that would be a whole different type
of book <eg>) any more than I would want Molly and Arthur to start going at
it in public. I may be misinterpreting your comment but why would kids need
to be shielded from the existence of same sex couples?

Personally although I take on board the clues that some people see in the
pensieve scene my belief that the two of them were a couple was confirmed by
their interaction at other points. Especially when Sirius and Molly were
fighting at Grimmauld Place, I though the interaction between Molly and
Arthur whenever we see it and the interaction between Sirius and Remus in
that scene was pretty similar.
