eh, '-chan' being childish, I would say depends on how it's said more than anything.A little sister would call her older brother 'Onii-chan', while a outsider could call him 'onii-san' without problems in my sight, calling someone with '-chan' is as well a childish way, but you can use with a girl you are close with or you are a senior.
Since from what I have seen, it is sometimes used between really close childhood friends (i.e. they view each-other as siblings).
As for those actually related using '-san' from what i know would just be disrespectful. (for siblings that is, for mother it is used... and I can't tell you why).
