Actually, I'm checking the book, and no where do I find mention that it was Bellatrix who killed Fred. It was an explosion. Not one specific person.

No she killed Fred too and the signs are....at the beginning he slept in the cubpoard under the stairs and coming out if the closet is pretty much the most popular phrase for becoming gay and also and before hogwarts he was going to go to stonewall high and stonewall is a real organization for gay people and in Goblet of Fire everyone else had their girlfriends (with an exeption of fleur but that was her sister) and harry had ron to save from the mermaids if you need more tell me I wouldn't really count any of those as signs that he's gay. Whatever your opinion is, I accept it. But those just seem really far-fetched and too thought out. Like...you looked too much into it. He slept in a closet because he we forced to. Stonewall is the name of a lot of things. And Harry just didn't have a girlfriend to save in GoF. He liked Cho but Cho was taken by Ced. Ron was his best friend. I think it's great that Ron was important to him. The book really shows how straight Harry is, in my opinion. How he reacts to seeing Cho. How nervous he is to ask her out. How he feels when he kisses Ginny. The jealously when Ginny is dating Dean. Lol.

"Coming out of the closet" does NOT mean you're becoming gay. You can't become gay, you are born it. Coming out of the closet means you're letting others know that you're gay and that you're not trying to hide it from anyone.
Sorry if that sounded bitchy, but I'm a little touchy being bi myself.
That said, I never saw Harry as being gay. If ANYONE, it would have been Ron had he not ended up with Hermione. He was always just so touchy about things and sort of 'no Harry's MY FRIEND' possessive and would get angry when Harry didn't tell him things. But I was always a Hermione/Ron shipper anyways, so. Other than maybe Neville, Ron I would see the most likely gay if anyone [not counting Dumbledore OBVIOUSLY. xD]

I just ship him for the lulz. Then again, every story I've read where he was gay changed his personality completely, so yeah.
Canon-wise though, I never saw Harry as gay.

I'm not sure if this either is an unpopular opinion, but I never liked Ginny...no offense

Harry and Ginny were completely ruined for me by the movies. Now I don't even like that ship at all. I can't really see Harry with anyone, honestly. Is that weird?

I honestly didnt think Harry and Cho could ever work. She only went with him because she was on the rebound from loosing Cedric. True, but Harry always had a thing for her. But then she ended up being sorta mixed up, and hence Ginny. But I feel that Luna was inserted by JKR in Order of the Phoenix for no reason just because she just really didn't like Cho so much and didn't want to write about her anymore, even though I find her quite an interesting basket case.

I never saw harry as gay... and I agree with aroseforregan, I hated them in the movies, it was a bit sudden. Also Cho got a bit whiny for me towards the end... Although she is an interesting character.

I think Cho and Cedric really were a great match. I wish Ceddy wouldn't have died. But at the same time, I can't imagine the rest of the story without him being dead. It was such a watershed moment for the series.

It was such a watershed moment for the series. It was kind of the turning point of the series. Although I would have rather had someone else die.

- I absolutely always hated Dobby. I found him painfully annoying. I honestly had no idea he was so popular until he died and everyone started crying all over each other. I thought everyone thought he was as annoying as I did.
- I do have a certain fondness for Harry, Ron and Hermione, but after the forth book or so I really lost interest in them as characters and I didn't particularly care to pay attention to their development. I can't explain why, but for the rest of the series I was mostly infatuated with characters like McGonagall, Snape, Malfoy, Lupin, Tonks, and others. Really, for the latter part of the series I had no emotional involvement with any of the main characters (and that includes Voldemort, who I've never found to be a particularly interesting villain).

Mine was how as soon as Snape was revelied to be helping Harry everyone jumped on say how much they loved him. JK Rowling even said herself, Snape was no hero! Snapes popularity shot up from the revel in Deathy Hallows where as before that he was hated, that anoyed me.

I know this is really off the point, but I want to put this out there.
Hufflepuff.
What on earth is wrong with Hufflepuff? It's my favourite house and I would be so honoured if was considered good enough to be sorted there. But some people are really dissapointed on Pottermore or are hating on it. Why? What's wrong with kind, loyal, honest, accepting people? Why... are those bad things? Surely these people would be generally great people. I get that some people think Hufflepuff takes in leftovers, but... Look, people can be really judgemental, or just won't accept you for who you are. And then there's Hufflepuff, who loves you whether you're smart, brave, cunning (I guess...), kind, or just yourself.
Can someone explain this to me please?

Okay, I didn't read all three pages so if something is repeated forgive me xD
I hated Draco, he was just a whiny spoiled brat. Ron was a terrible friend, and I didn't like his character at all. Dumbledore caused a LOT of crap, but I did mourn his death. Snape, is a well respected character but he is still a jerk. I hate how he treated Harry, no matter what his reasoning was.
Uhm... I'm a hard core Harmony shipper. Harry and Hermione for life! <3
I could go on for ages, but in short those are my main.
