Rowena: It would perhaps be more accurate to say they don't exist
outside JKR's imagination. However until actually put on paper the
story is in the process of creation and hence likely to change. So
basically we're coming to the same conclusion: JKR's statements are
not canon.

Rowena: Since I am incapable of following the canon of any fandom -
(just check out my Fanfiction.com page) I'm not letting this problem
worry me. Besides, gay men do have children sometimes don't they?
