Sue:
Of course people should lighten up, especially as we aren't talking world
peace here. Personally, I think differing opinions are terrific. As
long as people who disagree with an opinion only disagree with the opinion
and don't start attacking the person things will stay civilised. The poster
who added that he/she was a Christian and thinks homosexuality is evil is
quite entitled to that opinion but that doesn't make those of us who
disagree evil, and we shouldn't be made to feel that we are.

I personally don't think that JK will have any gay characters in her book - 
not a main character
anyway.

At the risk of throwing the cat among the pidgeons here, *evil
grin*, I have to reply to the poster who said that Harry had never ever 
indicated
that there might be a boy he was interested in, and disagree. In GoF,
Harry meets Bill for the first time (p. 50) and is surprised by his 
appearance.
"Bill was, there was no other word for it - cool." Harry has never
thought this about another wizard hehe.

There are a couple of mentions about Bill in the OoTP too, which
were added that didn't need to be there, that shows Harry was at least 
thinking
about Bill. I'll have to go find them again. There was one about some
wizard's hair being as long as Bill's, or longer, and something else I can't 
remember exactly
what, but something. I know mention was also made on OoTP that Bill was 
giving
Fleur 'private lessons' in English just after Harry asked if Bill was at
headquarters (p.67).

I was reading the post (about Harry not showing any indication of being 
interested in another boy)about the same time I started re-reading OoTP (for 
about the sixth time) that triggered this thought. I'll check it out and 
send later.

I'll go now and hunt up some more clues for my evil plan.
Sue
