If we wish to pose this as a question, is it perhaps
better to pose it as a general question on the lines
of "What is the situation of GLBT in the Potter
universe?", rather than specifically ask if a
gay/lesbian character will appear in future books.  I
am not foreign to ask Rowling on the topic, I just
have the (unnecessary, as far as I could read from a
previous post) concern that the result might be a
character being there for the sole purpose of being a
positive rolemodel, thus becoming artificial (I am
also concerned that it might draw a lot of flak
towards her).
