Blinkered admiration again, I suppose... ::sighs on behalf of Snape::
The one thing that still bothers me is that in DH we had an entire book within the book (and long extracts from, to boot) on Dumbledore's life -- a 'tell all' no less -- and nothing, not even the tiniest rumour, among all those malicious rumours, about him being gay.
OK, DH is a kids' book, it's not important to the story... But seriously, it was a blatant opportunity for her to hint at it... Yet JKR feels the need to tell us this fact only after all the books... for what reason other than pure sensationalism, I wonder? :s
