bigestbarda:
I find Sirius' apparent unwillingness (or inability) to get a
girlfriend interesting. If his exchanges with Molly and his mother are
typical, Sirius has serious issues interacting with women. I wouldn't
be surprised if he was quite sexually immature as well, considering
his (what we must assume to be typical teenage Sirius behaviour, or
else JKR wouldn't have pointed it out) ignorance of female interest
during the OWL exam- for a 15 year old boy, that's somewhat atypical.
I don't imagine Mr and Mrs Black were either very physically
affectionate nor very informative about certain things, which would
also be a factor.
