Like, I don't think she deserves any diversity brownie points for Dumbledore, but I'm kind of glad she didn't do anything overt with his sexuality in the text. She sucks at writing het romance and she can draw off direct experience for that. I shudder to think what she'd have done with Dumbledore.

On one hand I agree with you. She's pretty bad at romance. On the other hand, most of the terrible het romance stuff happens in book 6 and 7, and both those have massive problems anyway even beyond the shitty romances. Harry and Cho's awful kiss in book 5 was great imo, as was Ginny's one-sided crush on Harry early in the series, so idk that the problem is so much that she can't write het romances but that 6+7 needed better edited/writing in general.

I think she could've made it more overt pretty easily. Literally all that needed to be added was Grindie and Dumbie holding hands, or even something as simple as "Harry realized the way they were looking at each other was the way Mr. and Mrs. Weasley always looked at each other" or something.
