Shelley:

JKR must be delusional at times. I just don't see at all how revealing DD 
was gay could have possibly revealed any part of the plot. We might have 
been able to guess that the relationship had then been with Grindewald (fans 
still were, even long before Book 7 and certainly before that reveal), but 
still, how would that have given away anything? Anything important to the 
plot??? I still maintain that the Rita Skeeter's book "special reveal" was 
all about exposing Dumbledore's gayness and boyhood romantic fling with 
Grindewald, if JKR did indeed write the last book with a gay DD in mind. It 
was my guess that she would have tried to smear Harry Potter as DD's next 
fling, a remembrance to the young lover he once had. Maybe that question 
will get answered in an interview one of these days.

Again, I still see a disparage between the story she wrote on page, and the 
one she's telling in the interviews. I really wish she has wrote what was in 
her head, instead of what we got that needed editing and more time paid to 
it.
