Harry's Sexual Preference SHIP

If I may put in my twopennyworth for what it's worth.

When I was the same age as (OOTP) Harry (just a few years ago!!), I 
was probably in the same boat. There is a tendency for boys to take 
an interest in one another in early teens and being in an all boys 
senior school (which was quite the norm in the UK at that time), your 
attention was drawn more to your own physical changes and also to 
other boys - sometimes at the level of comparison.

Girls were a strange set of beings who were very difficult to read. I 
can remember even at teacher training college making the same sort of 
gaffes that Harry has made. A la GOF, I can still recall (blushing 
somewhat) having a disastrous evening at a college ball when 
everything seemed to go wrong.

I hope that HP will get his feet well grounded in the next couple of 
years in his teens and feel more at home with himself by the end of 
Hogwarts.
