What I meant was that the subject -- a VERY possible rape metaphor in
the GoF graveyard scene -- is a sticky one, and that I wouldn't blame
anyone for just plain not wanting to discuss it, whether it occured to
them or not.

Not to me.  It's pretty rare that a concept sticks with me stongly
enough for me to be so positive there's something to it (I'm usually
very flexible), and this just happens to be one of them.  If JKR
intended something completely different, I'd be very curious to know
what it is since it's impossible for me to read that scene as perfectly
innocent.
