   Jeff:
     I agree. Anybody can make anything appear to be in their favor 
somehow. Also, even if it might not make sense to others, another's 
view can be argued so that it could make sense later.

   Jeff:

     I agree. If we can't discuss the idea, then why have the group? 
If the group is only for PC (READ: BORING) discussions, then it's no 
different than the other 5,000 or so fangirl-Mary Sue type groups out 
there. :P
     Harry could be bi, btw. He's been in a closet so long, he has no 
concept of what he really likes. I'm sure suddenly having to both be 
naked with strangers and see them nude all the time, when puberty 
hits he's naturally intrested in the others. With Ron having older 
brothers and even having to share a room with the Twins until the two 
oldest moved out for good, I'd say he knows a bit of what boys can do 
for fun after lights out. Doesn't make them gay either, just part of 
growing up.
    Percy could certainly be gay, he's so uppity that he comes across 
as being rather nelly at times, at least imho.

   Jeff:

    Ah, that's true too. He does seem to be as lovestuck as the girls 
are, doesn't he? But let's not forget about Colin Creevy. His 
stalking of Harry sounds rather like a big crush to me.
