Casey, I think your comments are very nice. However, I doubt very 
much that JKR really cares TOO much about what people think about the 
books. No matter what, hundreds of thousands of people will buy 
them....If Sirius and Remus were lovers in her original vision of the 
tale, then they will be, and JKR will not care what others think...

One thing that someone said on this list stayed with me...the books 
are really told from Harry's point of view. From young children's 
point of view, adults are sex-less.....from young heterosexual kids 
point of view, all adults are straight.....but now Harry is growing 
up.....
