Dumbledore's Agenda

Here's a great piece by Chicago Sun-Times editor and columnits Jim Emerson, dealing with J.K. Rowling's assertion that she imagines Dumbledore to be gay. That is interesting on its own, but what caught my fancy was his well-said explanation of the artist's intent, and what bearing it has: namely, that it is important and worthy of knowing, but is by no mean definitive. It's a brief aside in the article, but it's the most important part.
