I think it's really much ado about nothing. Besides addressing the 'snogging' that adolescents do, the author does not really go into the sexual orientation of any of the adults, excepting the married and soon to be married ones. It's a detail, nothing more, and the day that details such as one's sexuality are just that- not some huge, earth-shattering scandalous revelation- that means we have all gone beyond mere tolerance* to acceptance and inclusion. It is only relevant in that Grindlewold's betrayal was absolutely devastating to Dumbledore, and his later actions were a reflection of his anguish. I think we lose sight that this is a series written for adolescents and we adults just got to go along for the ride.
*'Tolerance' annoys the **** out of me- it implies that something is unpleasant but must be tolerated. |
