Ok I think you are reaching a little bit to be mad. She did not say she imagined Hermione as not-white, she just said she likes the black interpretation.

I agree with you that Dumbledore's sexuality, while interesting from a story perspective, doesn't really add representation. I do however think there's a good argument to be made that homophobia, racism (referring to actual race, not blood status) and sexism aren't as strong of social forces as in the Muggle world. They just aren't as important as aspects of one's status and power as a witch or wizard in determining status. That doesn't mean JKR actually wrote real representation (not a lot anyway), and it doesn't mean she wrote an amazingly beautiful perfect egalitarian society, or that she gets brownie points for not writing in, say, overt misogyny - but I do think it's true that those things manifest themselves differently in the wizarding world.
