There's simply no need to bring that part of Dumbledore into the story: it serves no purpose. I mean, was Gandalf gay? How about Bilbo and Frodo? Personally, I find it almost unthinkable that any of those characters would have a romantic attachment to ANYone, man or woman. I can't speak for the Harry Potter books, never having read them, but the Lord of the Rings (for example) is basically a completely asexual story (except for the bit with Aragorn and Ariel). Characters' sexualities are no more relevant to the book than their bowel movements. I agree completely. There’s simply no need to bring that part of Dumbledore into the story: it serves no purpose.
