No, you are not the only one. As I said in my earlier post, if I were 
to compare Sirius and Severus only between themselves, I would most 
likely liked them  the same. The problem is I do consider "Harry's 
factor". :o)

Remus is a different story for me. Way too blah. Unless Rowling 
will "spice him up" later. :)
