Not really that chilling... standard tale heh.
What can I say? I get scared easily. 'specially since there is a dead silence in and outside my house and everything is dark.
To help you understand how easily scared I get, I was frightened of the Scooby Doo episode where they start off my robbing graves and this witch gets resurrected and scares them off. I had
nightmares
from it bro.
I... see....... /bursts into long loud laughter, falls out of his chair, dies from laughing too hard lol.

Is there context to this, so that we might be inclined to sympathize? Or not?

I wish I had the guts to do that... Seriously, my english teacher barely knows english. I bet you could find a chimp in the zoo that spoke better english. She misspells even more than my old
dyslectic
swedish teacher... But what can you do... You can't really insult someone that will set you final grades in two weeks.

Heh, Dumbledore was gay. I would have never guessed it.
Welcome to 2007!

From one controversy to the next, it seemed inevitable that the topic of Dumbledore’s sexuality would croup up. How did Rowling deal with the fallout? “It was funny, mostly!” she exclaims. “I had always seen Dumbledore as gay, but in a sense that’s not a big deal. The book wasn’t about Dumbledore being gay. It was just that from the outset obviously I knew that he had this big, hidden secret and that he flirted with the idea of exactly what Voldemort goes on to do, he flirted with the idea of racial domination, that he was going to subjugate Muggles. So that was Dumbledore’s big secret.
“So why did he flirt with that?” she asks. “He’s an innately good man, what would make him do that? I didn’t even think it through that way, it just seemed to come to me, I thought, ‘I know why he did it. He fell in love.’ And whether they physically consummated this infatuation or not is not the issue. The issue is love. It’s not about sex. So that’s what I knew about Dumbledore. And it’s relevant only in so much as he fell in love and was made an utter fool of by love. He lost his moral compass completely when he fell in love and I think subsequently became very mistrusting of his own judgement in those matters so became quite asexual. He led a celibate and a bookish life.”
Clearly some people didn’t see it that way. How does she react to those who disagree with a homosexual character in a children’s novel? “So what?” she retorts immediately. “It is a very interesting question, because I think homophobia is a fear of people loving, more than it is of the sexual act. There seems to be an innate distaste for the love involved, which I find absolutely extraordinary. There were people who thought, well why haven’t we seen Dumbledore’s angst about being gay?” Rowling is clearly amused by this, and rightly so. “Where was that going to come in? And then the other thing was – and I had letters saying this – that, as a gay man, he would never be safe to teach in a school.”
An air of incredulity descends on the room, as if Rowling herself still cannot believe this statement. She continues: “He’s a very old single man. You have to ask: why is it so interesting? People have to examine their own attitudes. It’s a shade in a character. Is it the most important thing about him? No. It’s Dumbledore, for God’s sake. There are 20 things that are relevant to the story before his sexuality.” Bottom line, then: he isn’t a gay character; he’s a character that just happens to be gay. Rowling concurs wholeheartedly.

Heh, Dumbledore was gay. I would have never guessed it.
I like that it's a story with a gay character that isn't about him being gay, I think we need more of those.
Only thing is...
You're a little...
