Hogwarts Professors/HP universe - no partners; no children

Okay, I know this has been discussed before...perhaps it's because  
everything is Harry's point of view, but....no wonder Professor Dumbledore has  staff 
problems...there's a celibacy rule! (a mild joke)
 
Okay, not ONLY do none of the professors have partners/spouses/lovers, but  
it seems NONE of them have children.
 
Lupin may be the only exception (now that JKR has squashed rumors of his  and 
Sirius' past love affair by linking him with Tonks)....but most of  them do 
not have a spouse/partner/offspring that we know of (okay so  maybe some of 
them have families squirreled away).
 
This is very strange. Now, I would be the first to say that maybe they're  
all lesbian and gay and are closeted, but I doubt that.........(please don't  
tell me that JKR believes that only heterosexual pairings are normal, she is way 
 too tolerant for that).....
 
Are most of the professors (AND adults in the series) purebloods? -- and is  
there a mutation? -- (the Comyn on Darkover spring to mind) that is  
counter-reproductive? 
 
The Weasleys seem to be the only family with a lot of kids...
well of course Lily and James didn't have time, but the Malfoys only have  
one, the Lestranges have none, Barty Crouch only has one, the Diggorys only have 
 one, Crabbe and Goyle seem to only have one.....neither Sirius or Regulus 
have  had any kids that we know of...the Patils and Creevys seem to be the only 
other  siblings.....
