Wow!!!  You guys are really into controversial subjects...  When I 
was 16-17 years old I didn't want to consider my sexuality other then 
heterosexual (bottom line was I wanted to be like everybody else)  I 
have had time to think over that in the last 10 years (I am 27 now) 
and I know now that I am 100% heterosexual but I don't think JKR 
wants to bring topics that are soooooooooooooooooooo controversial.  
There are already some people who think that HP should be banned 
because it deals with witchcraft!!!  I don't think she'll want to add 
more to their arguments by dealing with homosexuality (I just want to 
state at this point that I don't have anything against gay people - 
my best guy friend is gay).  I personnaly think that when you are a 
teenager you are already confused about sexuality let alone 
homosexuality.  I tend to think that JKR will stick to topics a 
little less controversial and deal with opposite sex relationships 
(if any).

I don't know if I make any sense at this hour (and in a foreign 
language) but that is my opinion
