Sirius is not gay! Come on guys .... he had a lot on his mind after 
graduation besides dating ... Lord Voldemort. In some cases, like 
the examination room, perhaps Sirius is oblivious to his 
admirers ... which is completely possible. Remember they were only 
15. Most 15 year old boys are still boys ... not quite used to the 
concept of dating yet.
