Authorial intent  

Obviously the big news of the day is that Dumbledore is gay. I guess it's a bit of a shock, but it also makes a lot of sense, given the character's past and the total absence of any information about his love life in a series that goes to great lengths to pair almost everyone else up. The big question now is: what other information is Rowling holding back? Between this revelation and her earlier remarks about what becomes of the various characters after the books, she's sure demonstrated a penchant for the leaky reveal.
