Harry, gay?   Sorry, but I don't buy it.  He notices girls way too 
much.  Cho, Fleur, Hermione at the ball (loved the jaw drop), 
Parvati, the Veelas...  Plus, he acts like a normally clueless 
teenage boy.  Actually, come to think of it, he acts like a normal 
male who has no clue what women think.  He's feels ackward, as 
anyone would in their first date/relationship at 15.  I thought 
JKR's portrayal was very true to teen dating at that age.  One 
confesses that they like each other, they make out (did anyone else 
notice that Harry came back to the common room half an hour after 
Cho first kissed him?), think they're dating, then it's over within 
six months.  And Harry noticed Cho when he was only 13.  All my 
crushes at that age were on people I barely knew.  Same with most of 
my friends at that age.  (Notice the person while passing in the 
halls or at class, too afraid to talk to them, maybe flirt with each 
other, move on to the next crush.)  Plus Harry is so nervous on his 
date with Cho.  And whenever he's alone with her, he's nervous.  
Loved it!  Who isn't nervous around someone you really like and 
you're not sure likes you back?

And the whole Bill-is-cool thing, well Harry has to have some kind 
of older role model that's not middle aged.  I saw it as an older 
sibling kind of thing.  Kind of like how Hermione and Ginny seemed 
to feel with Tonks.  They're both cool magical people in their 20s 
(an age teens look up to for coolness), don't wear wizarding wear, 
and seem a little bit punkish.  Aren't teens always impressed by 
cool people in their 20s?  I know I was!  (Come one, look how 
popular Buffy the Vampire Slayer is!  Cool main female character, 
good looking guys to drool over, what more could a teen girl want?)  
Plus, Bill was at the third task and aftermath.  He came with Mrs. 
Weasley as a family member.

And I've got to add to the list of possibly gay characters here: 
Colin Creevey anyone?  He was still obsessed with Harry as of GoF.  
Or Madame Hooch for the sterotypical lesbian (loves sports, short 
hair).
