I agree that Harry, especially after OoP, has too much to worry 
about to go looking for romance.  (That's not to say it won't find 
him.)  Before this book, he seemed just a typical teenage boy, too 
shy to talk to the girl he has a crush on. 

Harry is full of love and caring.  I think his desire for love is 
more of the friends and family style than the romantic style, 
especially after Dumbledore's little revelation.  It's obvious on 
the train home that his crush on Cho is over.  

Maybe I'm naive, but I just don't see any indications that Harry is 
gay.  I was hoping that someone who thinks he is could explain what 
they saw that I didn't.  I guess it's just individual belief at this 
point.
