Well apparently it looks now like she never even intended for it to be hinted out, however I almost wonder how she couldnt have. Some of the things are pretty obvious, especially given her fondness for wordplay and the like. Like the fact that he wasnt kept in the basement or the attic or a specially built cell, he was kept in the closet. I wont even go into the issues of his relationship with Ron (especially in the fourth book, where Ron is deemed the person most important to him, and wherein they have what could easily be seen as a "lover's spat").Its not just me either...like I said I've seen at least one article from some columnist or critic or something talking about it. Wether she intended them or not a lot of parallells can easily be made. That was intentionally. the whole bit with Bobby's parents was very obviously a coming out scene.It was almost certainly not intentionall at first, but the X Men are widely seen used and felt as a metaphor for being gay, for various obvious reasons, and I think that seen was in homage to that fact. No, but it would still be nice for a writer to come right out and do it, rather than just having similiar issues etc.However as I said all else aside, thats something I hope to remedy myself one day. I had never thought about this but your almost certainly right. Of course it raises questions about the whole "the wand chooses the wizard" bit, and wether one can have two wands at once... I very strongly hope not. This for most readers would be almost as bad as killing one of the main three. She's already killed Harry's mentor and one of his main surrogate father figures. I hope any further deaths are characters we arent quite as emotionally attached to. Percy would be good for this as you've mentioned.</blockquote>
