Please look upthread for the comments about how Scholastic is one publishing company out of many, and about challenging it'd be to exercise creative control over a bestselling, wealthy author of the world's most popular ongoing series. And if, as you seem to imply, "Jo" was so on fire about supporting just causes and using them in her work, stopping her from writing gay characters would've been impossible for her publishing company.

Mind you, I don't think she's a bad person for not including more diversity or LBGQT characters in Harry Potter. I don't even think it's a huge moral failing in her work or her personal life. But this excuse of "... but Scholaaaaastic!" is a very, very flimsy one.
