who else caught the suggestively homoerotic bit w/ Dumbledore & Snape during flashback?

[[deleted user]]

LOL! i had to contain my laughter during Snape's flashback when there was one scene where Snape and Dumbledore were discussing Lily's (or was it harry's ?) fate and Snape's intense wish to protect her/him anyway he can. If I remember correctly Snape was willing to give/do anything for Dumbledore and Dumbledore looks quizzically at Snape and says 'Anything?' in which Snape replies 'Anything' rather reluctantly and senses a dark foreboding, then the scene conveniently transpires to a more innocent scenario. Actually cracked me up! i think that was the only real hint throughout the whole movie to suggest that there was more than a friendship that occured b/w these two. hahahahh! Funny, cuz i thought Snape's bleak history and his unrequited love for Lily was the best scene throughout the whole movie. But that scene was class!

stop please -.-

haha, I feel like in the books this was never even a thought.. but in the movies they make dumbledore seem "gay".. which is.. very strange.. but funny, I agree.


I thought the flash back scene was awesome because it was the first time Snape actually showed emotion!

Way to be mature.

Marx: J.K. herself said that Dumbledore was gay, and his affections were toward Grindelwald.

I don't think that at all. There was never a hint of anything between Snape and Dumbledore. Like Caitlin said, JK did say that Dumbledore is gay, but his affections were for Grindelwald. I'm not against homosexuality, but in this case, I don't see anything hinted at between the two. When he asked him if he would do "Anything" he was referring to giving his life. If I were asked to die, I think I'd feel a little foreboding myself.

Homoerotic?! Snape isn't gay, but Dumbledore is. He was showing his love and affection for Lily!

[Ashley-Anne]

I disagree, I dont think there is anything going on there.

Dumbledore is gay. JKR announced that a few years ago. I def don't think there was anything homoerotic about that scene though.

I don't think she's saying that it was like that. It's like finding a double meaning in words that have nothing to do with sex. So what if it wasn't mature? What's the problem? Why rob someone of something they find funny?

[Marisa]

Shelby really didn't mean that Snape and Dumbledore had like a thing. I'm pretty sure she just meant that she thought it was a funny moment. I can see how that might be perceived as funny, when after all we do know that Dumbledore is gay. Don't hate on her she just pointed something out.

Just checked fanfiction.net and there are only 100+ Dumbledore/Snape fic there. Maybe many slash writers haven't seen this "subtext" yet :)

This talk made me think how much better the HP world is than the real world. Imagine if Dumbledore gave Harry his special lessons now.
"Elderly Gay Man invites teenage boy to his room, to look at Pensieve and discuss memories."
If Dumbledore was LUCKY he'd be pensioned off to Miami in a minute...
Possibly better than having your hand go manky, then being mercy-killed by your colleague...
