I am so happy. There is a gay couple in canon after all.

I am of the view that due to so many failed theories based 
on interviews that whatever is in them can be ignored and we 
readers should be free to draw our own conclusions. If people 
want to continue to speculate that Neville married Luna or that 
Snape recovered and lived to a ripe old age, then let them.

If the author of A Tale of Two Cities had ever said that the two 
cities concerned were actually Caracas and San Salvador, would 
he have been believed? No, because the book itself would refute 
that. Why then take anything JKR says at face value if it is not 
supported by what's in the books? That a case could be made out 
for DD being gay from the books is fair enough, however there 
have been many speculations on, for instance, Lupin and Sirius, 
previously that are still supportable (not by me). If JKR says 
they were not does that then mean that they couldn't be? Believe 
whatever you choose, in other words. Imagination is a wonderful 
thing.

I personally believe nary a word of JKR's these days insofar 
as they relate to the books and choose to believe that there 
is no great message for tolerance, or anything else in the 
books. Even before DH was published I wrote a short piece 
(not here) on why if a message was being sought in the HP 
books one should look elsewhere. They're just entertaining 
stories, no more or less than that, IMO.
