Aye. {g}

Back to my previous reply and why I voiced it... I find it... impolite to
say a person can't speculate a certain way (implication being because you
believe your own thoughts on the matter are infallible) when JKR hasn't
even stated in an unquestionable manner about character sexual
orientation.

I brought up trying to predict character outcomes via their names and
connections in history as something that does quirk my eyebrow, but I'm
normally like 'if it floats your boat'.  I'm fairly cool with folks
speculating along different veins... Speaking of veins, some folks still
think Snape is a vampire. {g}  This is another idea which quirked my
eyebrow.

I don't necessarily agree with some 'theories' but part of the fun for
others is they want to discuss them and calling folk 'insane' for thinking
something isn't conductive in a discussion.

I'm on a list where Y!G registers numbers exceeding 11,700+ members who
are also into exploring [possible] homosexual themes in the HP
books/movies.  The idea exists beyond a few individuals.

That and can we please stop spelling Sirius as 'Sirus'. {g}  I've never
read the books [per se] and can still get the name.  Now, if you tried a
Q&A on me for other spellings, I'd be SOL because I only have the audio
books. {chuckle}

As a tangent, there are folk who believe _Wizard of Oz_ is also a possible
allegory for American history during the 1800s (Gilded Age).  Some would
think them 'nutters', eh?  After all, it's just a children's book on
fantasy. {g}

I rather like the comment from here
(http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0275974189/102-9936241-8018561?v=glance
) about how "the result is a unique way for readers to acquaint themselves
with a classic of children's literature that is a bit different and darker
than the better-known film version".
