I always wondered if he banged McGonagall.
Now my question is answered.
Yeah, I know. Its obvious that McGonagall did some sex-changing magic to hide her little fling. Or should I say his little fling, the dirty little bastard.Quote:

What, I can't believe this, this is absurd obviously you're tricking everyone and it's fake!
She obviously knows people will eat up any HP info they can get so why not throw them a few bones (no pun intended)? Maybe she enjoys the spotlight. I know I would if people cared so much about things I made up.Quote:

Its only relevance it would have was in the seventh book but there was hardly a way that she could have brought it up with Dumbledore being dead and all. I also assume he was secretive about it considering how long ago it must have been when he was that young.
Then again, maybe I am reading into it a little bit too much.
I vaguely remember reading Deathly Hallows (SPOILER)during the Snape memories chapter and thinking Snape and Dumbledore were having a few 'moments'. Which was really weird, because I'm not into the shipping aspect of Harry Potter and looking for 'hints' wasn't on my mind at all. I thought I was just being stupid. Maybe I was, but this makes me want to reread the book now. :p
But anyways, usually gays aren't portrayed very well in mainstream stuff, so this is cool :cool:
I suppose so. I mean, I'm not going to start a "well this ruins the entire series!!!!!!" movement or anything. Having read the post by The Summoner of Leviathan, perhaps it was a rather nice point to make that one's sexuality doesn't define their person. Dunno, just rather didn't seem like a terribly important thing to reveal when I first read it.Quote:

This was pretty much my response:

lol even Dumbledore is gay :( where the hell did she get that idea?... I thought Harry Potter was gay not Dumbledore!:(
I still think he's manipulative and heartless (SPOILER) especially towards Sniv! so it hasn't really changed my interpretation of his personality.
But I think you can read his backstory in quite a different way now. Oh God, and when (SPOILER) Rita Skeeter says "I devote an entire chapter to the whole Potter-Dumbledore relationship" I crack up laughing. I'm stupid like that.
