You bet that two people of the same gender can be true and
wonderful friends without being lovers....but if you assume that two 
people of the same gender can NEVER be lovers, then what is that 
called?

There isn't too much in the canon to support the Remus/Sirius as 
lovers theory, BUT in the FILM, JKR specifically says that there are 
hints that are congruent with canon, and that there's nothing in the 
film that is NOT congruent with canon..and in the film...we hear 
Snape say "oh, bickering like an old married couple..."....also 
Cuaron refers to Lupin as everyone's favorite gay uncle, and there 
are other indicators in the film...if JKR had been uncomfortable it 
wouldn't have happened...
