But it already has, sort of.
And no, I am not speaking of subtext here. But if m/m relationships 
never crossed her mind in any way, she wouldn't've had ron say, "I 
don't reckon he'd come home if Dad didn't make him.  He's obsessed.  
Just don't get him onto the subject of his boss.  According to Mr. 
Crouch ... as I was saying to Mr. Crouch ... Mr. Crouch is of the 
opinion ... Mr. Crouch was telling me ... They'll be announcing their 
engagement any day now."


Now, this does not mean that Ron is implying Percy is gay, or that Mr 
Crouch is, or that they're in a nonbusiness relationship in any way. 
But the last sentence shows, IMHO, that in the wizarding universe in 
which Ron lives, there are same-gender relationships.

If there weren't, the sentence wouldn't've occured to Ron. He 
would've been like the people of Krikkit, who've never thought `We  
are  alone'  simply because  it  has  never occurred to them to think 
that there's any other way to be."
