The thing is, there are so many OTPers who see canon with "ship blinders". The "joint presents" Remus/Sirius crowd ignores the (to me) incredibly slashy PoA Remus/Snape tension in the scenes where Snape gives the Wolfsbane to Remus.
And the possible homoerotic James/Sirus undertones in the Pensieve scene! Why won't somebody think of the Sirius/James!
Seriously, I don't think there's many honest shippers in the world. I mean, shippers often claim their ship is "canon". If that were true, they'd have to ship every pairing with a shred of evidence, wouldn't they? It's much more honest to admit we don't any more have canon than what attracted us to the ship in the first place.
The "all fours in Snape's office" Snape/Harry OTPers go la la la at Harry's angry claim that Snape essentially killed Sirius. Snape/Lucius shippers point at the "lapdog" comment. And so on.
Oh boy. It's like Draco and that damn glass. I mean, it's nice that he dropped it because he's so boycrushing with Harry his urge to impress him makes him even more clumsy than he normally is... or maybe he just can't stand the fact Harry's such a star he loses control of his own limbs?
