Potioncat:
I agree, that is, if she even knew.

My take on JKR's statement that she always thought of DD as gay, was 
that it was one more secret for him to keep. It was a foundation for 
his reluctance to tell anyone anything. Young children who have to keep 
secrets tend to become closed mouthed, or good liers. So I doubt very 
many people would know. At this point in time, I'd say no one except 
maybe Doge and Bagshot.

My son and I are reading DH (still for the first time) and we've just 
gotten to the part where LV arrives at the tower. This time I wondered 
what GG was thinking about DD.
