Finwitch:

I think that if there is, then Sirius & James were such. They were as 
close as twin brothers, after all - always together. What I imagine 
this blood-bother-hood to mean, is that 

a) it requires a ritual of sorts, which involves a mixing/changing of 
blood.

b) you can tell what your blood-brother is feeling, because you 
*share* that feeling. (like Harry sharing Voldemort's - due to 
Voldemort having used Harry's blood to restore himself).

c)difference is, of course, that blood-brothers both choose to do it, 
and they also BOTH know how the other is feeling. I *don't* think 
Voldemort senses Harry's emotions - (as Harry has no blood of 
Voldemort inside him)
