Just wanted to commend you on your excellent choice of quote. 

Non-Buffy fans...you kinda have to have been there to get the big 
joke.

Re: Gay characters in HP -- sure they could be there, but that's 
another book for another time, no? Having a gay relationship is now 
so overdone in media it's nearly a cliche -- like a 'covering all of 
our bases' thing. Unless Harry's gay, which I very much doubt, I 
really don't think we'll be concerned with anyone in the Magiverse 
who may be -- or, at least, we won't be concerned with their *being* 
gay. I don't think JKR will even go there now -- it seems too much 
like an attention-grabber, and holds much danger of ruining the merit 
she means it to hold. If it's not a major part of plot, I just don't 
see it happening....
Also...I don't feel I know any of the minor characters well enough to 
speculate on their sexualities. (I know I know, hence the term "minor 
character". But still).
