Angirussell:
I agree that Sirius was not in love with Lily.  But he was obviously very
good-looking and aware of it.  So, why have we not even heard of a
romantic link in school or after with Sirius and some witch?

Lupin is just a classic tragic figure.  His redemption may be in Tonks,
but I always liked the idea that Tonks is the traitor in the midst..I
don't know why.
