Sinistra (was: Various bits and pieces)

Actually, I've been thinking of Sinistra as a woman since GoF.  I 
seem to remember a paragraph in the book where "Moody" (Crouch, Jr.) 
makes a comment about Harry's socks.  Both of them are out on the 
dance floor during the Yule Ball, and as I recall, "Moody's" partner 
is Professor Sinistra.  (They're doing "an extremely ungainly two-
step", or something of that sort.)

That suggested to me that Sinistra was a woman.  (Or maybe the dance 
in question is one in which the gender of the partners doesn't 
matter, although I seem to recall that the two-step involves some 
hand-holding and the man's hand on his partner's waist.)  (Or maybe 
JK Rowling is just really, *really* trying to push the envelope in 
the world of children's literature?)
