... Mad-eye Moody, McGonagall, Tom Riddle (Slughorn in HBP said Tom
had a way of finding out information), Slughorn, Snape, Hagrid, Mdm
Pomfrey <snip> Fudge, and also ... did the Chocolate Frog Card writers
know?

Carol responds:
As secretive as DD was, I doubt that anyone knew. All the others (his
mother, Bathilda, et a.) would see was a brief but intense two-month
friendship with a boy who would later become a powerful and notorious
Dark Wizard. We don't even know that *Gellert* knew how Albus felt
about him. And I think that if Aberforth knew, he would have said
something along the lines of, "He loved that wicked boy more than he
loved his own family." And I'm quite sure that once Gellert was
involved in his sister's death, Albus kept his mouth shut about their
relationship, just as he never talked about his father's imprisonment
or his mother's and sister's deaths. The Chocolate Frog Card writers
mentioned the duel with Grindelwald, but nothing about the early
friendship or relationship or whatever you want to call it. It appears
that DD took that secret with him to the grave. Leave it to Rita
Skeeter to dredge it up. BTW, even Harry, to whom Dead!DD talks about
the two-month infatuation with Grindelwald, doesn't seem to suspect
anything beyond an intellectual friendship.

Carol, noting that except for Rita Skeeter's insinuations, no
character in the books seems remotely interested in DD's sexuality
