Home again. Tired. Happy. Love to you.

PS: how do I get rid of those annoying snap bubbles? x_x

PPS: dear JKR, you're not the first writer who put a homosexual character in a fantasy novel, although you're the first one who seems so proud of annuncing the fact out of the novel itself. Memo: we're not in the nineties anymore.

Perhaps JKR didn't include Dumbledore's love for Grindelwald in the books because it contradicted her "power of love" premise? Voldemort is presented as inherently evil because his mother didn't even care enough to live after giving birth to him. Love is supposed to be a force of Good, ex: Lily's love for Harry, Snape's love for Lily, even Narcissa's love for Draco. That Grindelwald would embark on his evil schemes even after having the love of a man like Dumbledore gives lie to the "power of love."

That's definitly an interesting point. Which is also why it's not as positive as it could have been : the one love that failed to save was the gay one... great.
