  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?
