Severus here:

Sue, as you stated, people are allowed to read ANYTHING into JKR's 
works, but that does not neccessarily make them correct.  And yes 
you can have your fantasy of Orlando Bloom (as Draco) and Harry have 
a love affair but this is not the place to air one's sexual 
fantasies.  This is a place for discussion of the Harry Potter 
series of books.  Earlier, by voicing my opinion on this subject, I 
was subjected to a flaming.  For some reason, it is O.K. for people 
to say Harry is gay (and have very little to base this on), but not 
O.K. for people to say that he is straight (and have quite a bit to 
support this).  What I am saying is keep your fantasies out of the 
forum, and if you want Orlando to play Draco, then post it in the 
movie discussion forum.

As far as Harry being "attracted to Bill", give me a break.  Just 
because a guy finds another guy cool, doesn't mean that he is 
harboring sexual feelings for him. Jeez, people, give it a rest.  
Sexual attraction and love are not related, I love my guy friends 
and think some are really cool, but the thought of sex with them 
makes me ill.  Now sex with my girl friends, that is a completely 
different feeling.  Harry gets the wonderful butterfly, warm fuzzy 
feeling over Cho, and still has them for all I know, but that 
relationship was doomed for the get go.  And they were both guilty 
of that. 

If this starts another "lovely rousing cyber bar fight" so be it.
IMHO sexual fantasies should be kept out of this forum.  They do 
nothing for furthering the discussion of these books.
