Albus Dumbledore has always been my favorite character, from Book One

What's interesting is why your "deep intuitive sense" of him has been 
damaged by the idea that he once loved another man?

So, my deep intuitive sense of Lupin has been shattered by JKR's 
insistence that he's at least bisexual?
