I agree that far too much is being made of the revelation. I did not
believe that Slughorn was at all referring to Dumbledore's
relationship with Grindelwald. I was using the "obsessive love"
quote to show that the effects of such love is referred to in the
books. The Harry Potter series deals with sexuality, power and
discrimination. I like that we learned all about Dumbledore--
strengths and weaknesses--before we ever learned anything about his
orientation. It isn't that important except to clairify his
hesitancy to confront Grindelwald--that is all.
