*bows* Thank you! Haha I was worried it'd make no sense since I rambled. >.>
I adore the Marauders because of that bond and how much more they meant to each other than any four boys that shared a dorm. James was an only child. Peter had some clingage issues and the boys made him part of the group. Sirius was the outcast of the Black family. And Remus, well, Mr Werewolf himself wouldn't have had it easy either. But they find each other and make their little family among the four of them, which is why Remus and Sirius are so willing to kill Peter; he betrayed family and that bond they shared.
*snicker* And yeah, my take on the pair is that teen hormones lead to probably experimenting. But it got deeper than that before they realized it. And Remus having to possibly face more judgment for being gay/bi when he had enough issues with being a werewolf? That's why I doubt they would have outed themselves at all. Remus, at least. Heh, and I try to date things in canon as much as I can and find out about the time period whenever I write about Remus' backstory. Because it's just built that way, I think, and it's impossible to ignore what was going on, y'know?
And about it rekindling after that? My guess is that it wouldn't have been easy, it wouldn't have been just kiss-up-and-be-fine-the-next-day, but it makes sense to me.
No, I highly doubt it would've been that easy. It was a big, big betrayal they each made towards each other, even if they would've been JUST friends. But I think the fact that Remus actually moved in with Sirius rather than staying wherever it was that they had been staying before (because Sirius had been sent to 'lay low at Lupin's') is a sign that obviously they must have reached a spot where they were comfortable enough again. And, you know, that possible conflict actually intrigues me a lot and how they must have worked things out.
