I disagree. *Courageous* would have been her writing this into the 
books.  Or, at least, into the last book when it was actually 
relevant.  We see unrequited love as a motivation for other 
characters, why not Dumbledore?  I suspect that she was afraid of 
the wrath of her publishers.  And we can't say "Why would the 
publishers have a problem?" because we all know very well that they 
would have.

Personally, I'm fine with this character development.  I'm more 
annoyed by the Neville-living-above-The-Leaky-Cauldron revelation 
because it just doesn't make sense.
