I'd just like to point out that, except for Dumbledore, no character in the Harry Potter franchise was said to be gay by JK Rowling. Not a single one. It's the fandom that is obsessed with writing fan fiction where every character is suddenly gay/lesbian/bi/pansexual/trans/genderfluid. (There is a blog on Tumblr dedicated to the theory that Snape is actually a transwoman, check it out if you want to laugh.) Speaking of Anthony Goldstein, he's part of a list of characters that Rowling wrote back in the nineties before she started writing The Philosopher Stone and his surname is Jewish. So she's been knowing that Anthony Goldstein was Jewish for two decades before speaking about it on Twitter. (Just because someone asked her if there was some Jewish wizard at Hogwarts, not because she was trying to make a statement)
