Severus:
I really hope this does not become a pride fest saying that Harry is 
gay.  He obviously is not, since he is infactuated with Cho for a 
short time, but he still finds her nice to look at.  

Chris:
I like to read certain characters as certian ways. And
until JKR comes out and says 'Harry is straight' or
'Harry is gay', then I will continue to read him how I
want. I see him as a very confused boy afraid of any
sexuality. His relatives are not the best, as they do
not treat Harry well and show him what true affection
is. He obviously had no idea how to treat Cho both
before and after. 

Laura:
What?  No "Queer Eye for the Straight Wizard"  to look forward to?

Ok why on God's green earth would you say that harry is gay? <snip>

P.S. I'm a christian and think this gay thread is evil!

Now RB:
I was truely not trying to start something here. JKR seems to be 
fairly liberal in her social outlook, from what I've heard her say, 
so the idea that some of her characters are gay isn't shocking to 
me.  It's just that I've seen several references to a possilbe 
Harry/Draco SHIP and am totally befuddled (isn't that a great 
word?).  

Can anyone point to something more specific than teen angst and 
emotional abuse that leads them to think that Harry is gay?  And 
lets keep this academic instead of moralizing, thanks.
