I don't want to upset anyone, and I'm a gay man, but:
There isn't any deal!!
No-one thinks it's impossible for two guys to be lovers.
Of course same gender love has existed forever, everyone knows that.
No-one is saying there couldn't be same-sex partners in HP.
No-one is saying that JKR is a bigot.
It's impossible to NOTICE that someone is a gay woman; there's 
nothing in their physical appearance to indicate it.
On the other hand there's no way of knowing that your list of 
characters are heterosexual.
No-one will do any sqealing and objecting.
The director has NOT clearly, or in any other way, instituted a gay 
sub-text.
"People like him" means werewolves - pure and simple, no sub-text, 
nothing more.
Music, tweeds, gentleness - nothing to do with gayness at all.
The director is NOT making ANY analogy.
There's NOTHING homophobic about Snape's remark about couples.
No-one is getting hysterical about that idea.
It's very nice of you to defend gay people and gayness generally, 
but first, we don't need defending, and second, there's nothing in 
the books or the films to be defensive about.
