I agree with you 110% Tonks, and after reading all the
posts about people who think they may be gay, and I
haven't read any argument that may persuade me into
thinking otherwise... Shippers are just basing their
theories on scenes that are perfectly straight
(AFAIK), I mean, they could easily be scenes between
me and my best friends, either my best girl-friend
(and we're not gay), or my best guy-friend (and we're
not a couple). As Tonk says the bonds between two
friends is much deeper than a lovers'. Let's consider
that Remus and Sirius have known each other for about
20 years, they sure are closed. Remember that Sirius
(& co) even became animagi just to keep Remus company
while the full moon, if it isn't true friendship I
don't know what is. Unless Jo shows us in a more
explicit way their "relationship", I'm sticking to the
Just Friends Theory.

I've stayed out of this one as I'm amazed people have even thought of this.  I guess it never occurred to me to question who is straight and who is gay.  I figured if it was important to the story, we would have been told.  Otherwise, who cares?  If it was important to the story that Sirius and Remus are a couple, we would/will be told.
 
That said, one thing to remember when considering "The Hug" which seems to mean something to people.  This is probably the first time Sirius and Remus have seen each other since James died.  At that time, it appears that each suspected the other of being the spy.  So, there must have been a difference in their relationship at that point, a coolness and a distance.
 
Now, they see each other knowing who is the true traitor.  I saw that more as long lost brothers seeing each other again than anything else.  I guess I've always seen James, Sirius and Remus as being more like brothers than just friends.  There appeared to be a stronger bond between them.
 
I agree with the comments also that it is sad when just because there is physical contact between people it is automatically seen as sexual.  Heaven forbid, as kissing when greeting or leaving someone is European countries is very common.
