it's not direct coding

Disagree - sort of. The way Rita writes about him in "The Life and Lies" is pretty much exactly how British tabloid journalists in the eighties and nineties signalled "this bloke is a [insert homophobic slur of choice] but we haven't got a smoking gun and we're worried we might not win a libel case so we're not going to out him, but take our word for it, he's definitely one of them"

I hope you'll forgive me if I say that I still think that's fairly indirect signaling. Especially given how unsympathetic Rita is, and the fact that it s just her hinting and dissembling.

to be clear, I'm not saying that Dumbledore being gay was surprising. I just don't think you could conclude it, or come close to concluding, on the basis of the book itself. The most you could do was wonder.
