I wonder if it is the other way around? What if it is completly
normal and therefore not worth mentioning it in a special way?

I think that it is brilliant that Dumbledore is gay. I never
thought that she would actually admit having a gay character
but I think it is fascinating. That gives the whole "reading
between the lines" thing a whole new meaning. It is very
interesting that JKR is still that active. One would think that
she has fulfilled her role as an author but by throwing us
little crumbs once in a while she still is stearing it bit.

Do you know Roland Barthes "The death of the Author"? He says
that the author is not important and that every text is written
in the "here and now" if that is so, what do we make of this?

I especially find this great because I am writing on a conference
paper ((fanfiction in connection with the source text) I am basically
trying to apply the queer theory to the HP books))at the momnet
and I am also  conducting a survey so if you would like to help, that
would be awsome!!!!!
