Hogwarts Head is Out of the Closet

By Eric on October 20, 2007

I try not to get too caught up in Harry Potter mania, but this is too good to pass up. According to J.K. Rowling, already friend of all Christians, Albus Dumbledore had a little secret:

The big revelation of the night came when she was asked if Dumbledore had ever found love. With a sigh, she seemed on the verge of saying no, but then revealed, “my truthful answer to you… I always thought of Dumbledore as gay.” After a collective gasp, the audience roared with applause. Rowling was clearly astonished by the positive reaction and exclaimed, “if I’d known it would make you so happy, I would have announced it years ago!” She went on to say that she thought Dumbledore had fallen in love with Grindelwald, a Dark Wizard he defeated in battle in 1945, which possibly made it forgivable that he had not seen Grindelwald’s true nature, because “falling in love can blind us to an extent.”

I wonder if this makes Snape Hogwarts’ version of Fred Phelps?
