Why should there be any heterosexual relationships?  How does Harry/Cho or
Ginny/Michael Corner/Dean affect the end of the series?

Love relationships are part of the human (and apparently Wizard) condition,
and while the books are primarily about the plot, they are also about the
characters and their development.  Romantic relationships are an important
part of that.

Moreover, JKR has made a deliberate point to show the diversity of the
Wizarding world.  How does it affect the end of the series that Dean and Lee
are Black, Cho Asian, Parvati and Padma Indian (or Pakistani, maybe), etc.?
Why shouldn't sexual orientation also be part of this variety?
