Hmm, I probably didn't phrase it all that correctly :) It's just that in so many cases it's their first relationship, period. (Whoops, I hadn't thought at all of all the slut!Sirius fics... but in that case it's not having relationships, more like using tissues to blow your nose.)
They're both pretty dysfunctional You know what I think? That this might possibly be more fanon than canon. I mean... in how many stories the Marauders interact with people different from the Usual Suspects? *blinks*
Actually I think fandom underestimates quite how loopy they both are. Remus says he never had friends before he came to Hogwarts which, considering he was eleven by then is bound to have screwed up his emotional development. And Sirius is practically a poster boy for mental instability in teens--apparent history of mental illness in the family, teen runaway, pattern of anti-social/criminal behaviour, and possibly a survivor of domestic abuse. I don't think they're nuts or anything, but neither of them seem to be particularly emotionally stable.
I didn't have any friends until seventh grade, which it actually twelve/thirteen. I doubt you guys want to hear how my emotional development got screwed up by that. Not that I'm crazy. I'm not. *shifty eyes*
