    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.

    Since when is anyone's sexual orientation "necessary"? Why is it "necessary" for Harry to be straight? Some people are gay, some people are straight. Same goes for fictional people, I suppose.

    Just didn't feel particularly relevant to the story and I feel that if it were that important a point to make, that she mentions it several months after the series ended, she could've made it in the books themselves.

    Are homophobe stones straight or jagged?

    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.

    It would have been nice if she would have mentioned it in the book but at the same time I think it is appropriate that she didn't. In a way, it is a message saying that homosexuality does not define a person. The fact that Dumbledore was gay had no real significance to the story or character development. 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.

    But anyways, usually gays aren't portrayed very well in mainstream stuff, so this is 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.

    I have to go with my dad's theory. She read some fanfiction where he was deemed of the homosexual nature, thought it sounded good and in order to get the last laugh, said "Guess what? Dumbledore's gay!"

    This was pretty much my response:

    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.
