 Hold it! Title Invasion
I think the people who say it isn't important also need to realize that its a character trait just like Hermione's hair being bushy or Ron being tall or Harry having green eyes or Flitwick being short or Slughorn being fat. Its a trait. Do ANY of those things matter in the plot? No. They just give the character a personality and an image.
I don't want to sound rude, but I think most of this is protective rationalization for not being accepting. You're all ready to care about who Neville married even though that's not important in the slightest, but Dumbledore's sexuality is an issue?
For those of you who say everything is ruined for you, I'm shocked. Something like that ruins almost a decade of fun in a couple of days? I think a lack of acceptance is what's key here.
Again, I don't want to seem rude, but I think some people just prefer everything to be fluff and when something shocks them, they prefer to ignore it so they can continue to be blind to the world.
Ok... who wants some tasty brownies to make us all happy?
