Japanese question

So I started Fruits Basket (just a few pages in, but it's definitely promising). I know people have explained this to me before, but I'm already getting lost with all the forms of address in Japanese. My understanding is that -san denotes respect and -chan denotes affection (and I realize I'm probably missing all sorts of nuances there), but what does -kun mean? Are there others I need to remember?

Thanks! Very useful summary. Isn't -Sama what Braska was called in the original Japanese script for FFX? I remember hearing that somewhere.
