Harry living in a closet...INTERESTING POINT, NEVER THOUGHT OF THAT
ONE...If I were to suspect anyone of being gay in the Canon, it would
be Gilderoy Lockhart, but perhaps that is just superficial
stereotyping (his flamboyant personality amongst other things), and I
don't think JKR is making an issue of homosexuality in these works,
whether she has pro or con sentiments about gay lifestyles. I just
don't think it is a big issue with her at this time.
