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.
