Potioncat:
>From time to time a Dumbledore scene from an earlier part of the 
story will come to mind and it will impress me how clearly she had 
though his character through. She's made him a kindly, sometimes 
silly person in many ways, yet given him an almost unsavory 
undertone. The evidence of this amount of thought is why I believe 
JKR when she says that she always thought of him as gay. I don't 
think she would have any need to suddenly invent something about him 
as an afterthought.
