Yeah, I know. I even mentioned that this is one reason I don't believe
in my own "DD is ephebophile" theory: because it would make more sense
to either believe everything JKR said in that interview, or nothing at
all.

I'm confused: what's the weight of an answer?

Exactly, and this logic is based on reality: I've read over and over
again that falling in love, during the teenage years, with someone of
the same sex, doesn't in any way mean that one is gay. So since we
know only of GG as DD's love interest, I am forced to consider that
"DD is gay" has no more than the weight of an opinion ( ;-) )

By the way, Random: are you me? I mean, do I suffer from Multiple
Personality Disorder, and I don't know it? Mind you, you could be me
and not know it either...
