Ye gods. I think I just got a tiny little shred of respect for Rowling. Now I feel dirty. ^_^;
Was Dumbledore's behaviour supposed to be a hint? Maybe. Or maybe it started out as just a quirk, and then she realised that it would fit. Either way, I'm amazed Rowling is even willing to admit that homosexuality exists, let alone ascribing it to her God-figure. (and I do appreciate the fact that that's really going to stick in the craw of the fundies, heh heh...)
Honestly, these people who think that HP is pro-Wicca propaganda... do they actually know anything about Wicca? (or about Satanism? Two very different things, those) I do, and there's really no connection that I can see. I mean, flying on broomsticks? That's got nothing to do with real witchcraft and everything to do with seventeenth-century superstition.
