Shelley:
But that is the point, isn't it? That it was secret, that nobody knew, until 
Rita interviews that ONE witness who tells her, and then Rita goes on to 
make an entire book about it. It just makes too much sense to me, and fits 
why Rowling would even tell us of Dumbledore's love affair with Grindelwald 
in the first place, or even of Rita's book in the DH when it seems to 
unfinished and irrelevant to the rest of the story she tells in DH.

Oh, and I have to apologize about that "Gradual" instead of Grindelwald. I 
don't know how in the heck my spellchecker messed that on up- I thought I 
had hit "ignore" for his name, but apparently not!
