I agree a lot with what you've said here, and, quite frankly, I've been extremely stressed out by folks wondering why Dumbledore's sexuality wouldn't be addressed in the books. First, not to demean older people, but at 150 and something, he probably isn't on the dating scene much. Second, when he was born in 1850-something, I doubt he had much chance at a healthy relationship. Third, when he was older and more enlightened, who goes LOOKING for love when your entire family and your first love are dead or imprisoned. Love hasn't been very kind to you, at that point.
