Severus "no thank you, I'm straight" Snape:
I really hope this does not become a pride fest saying
that Harry is Gay. He obviously is not, ... I am
slightly tired of the homosexual front reading g=
ay themes into everything from comics to cartoons that
my children watch, Sponge Bob comes to mind. Now don't
get me wrong, I have no problem with the alternative
lifestyle of this group of people, (my sister is, and
I adore her partner) I just don't care for their "it 
has to be in your face" policy. >>

Although I shrug off books or shows with gay themes
(not offended but just can't relate), I understand
what you are saying.  But, alternatively, you don't
have to read the fanfic with the gay themes.  I hate
the fact that the people who write the fanfic (mostly
women) feel compelled to couple up the HP characters,
as if the meaning of life can only be found through a
romantic relationship.  The HP books are very well
written with little romance so it's not really
necessary.

I don't think that there are any gay themes in the
book as I doubt that Rowling would put such themes in
a book with an audience of children, but, with fanfic,
anything goes. :-)
