I KNOW this is a crazy and uneducated thing to say, but in light of 
Vivian's dream (of HArry present at the time of Lily's death -- which 
I think is very neat, btw) I decided to share my own dream (well, one 
of my MANY MANY HArry POtter dreams)..

I actually had a dream that Sirius was dating Rita Skeeter's sister 
in the 5th book, HAHAHAHAHHA.  I remember thinkin 'damn, I wish I was 
her!', wahahhaa.  I dreamt this because that night (after reading 
GoF) I was wondering, why isn't there a mention of Sirius' 
girlfriends in highschool?  For someone that clever, tall and great-
looking, surely there was a long line-up of girls trying to put their 
claws on him?  I know I'd have been the first in line, mind you..  
And also in Snape's Worst Memory, (and I apologize in advance for not 
having the exact quote, I'm in school library) Harry sees Sirius 
leaning back on his chair in DADA OWL exam, and a girl behind him was 
eyeing him hopefully, but he didn't notice her..  Was he that 
uninterested in girls?  And no he doesn't emit the "gay" vibe to me 
but some guys are just not interested in girls till very late, or 
they don't care unless the girl is super uber gorgeous (to their 
standard, of course).

I don't know, I just hope that we get to hear more of his personal 
life dettached from James..

Oh, and it seems to me, unlikely that Snape had feelings for Lily.. 
maybe Bellatrix?  The description of Bella reminds me of the "Devil" 
in Bedazzled, portrayed by Elizabeth Hurley.  Snape-Lily situation 
will be analogous to Draco being attracted to Hermione (which I think 
is a possibility actually, maybe it's because I am reminded more of 
Tom-Emma rather than Draco-HErmione? dunno..)
