He had goats when they lived in Godric's Hollow, he had goats in his bar, his Patronus is a goat... why does he like goats so much? Is this a bestiality thing?

That's not a word. Bestiality is.

I'm positive that that is what Jo was hinting at. I could have sworn that she confirmed it in an interview awhile back, but I can't find it anywhere so maybe she didn't.

It was during the infamous "Dumbledore is Gay" interview at Carnegie Hall.

Quote:
Q: In the Goblet of Fire Dumbledore said his brother was prosecuted for practicing inappropriate charms [JKR buries her head, to laughter] on a goat; what were the inappropriate charms he was practicing on that goat?

JKR: How old are you?

Eight.

JKR: I think that he was trying to make a goat that was easy to keep clean [laughter], curly horns. That's a joke that works on a couple of levels. I really like Aberforth and his goats. But you know Aberforth having this strange fondness for goats if you've read book seven, came in really useful to Harry, later on, because a goat, a stag, you know. If you're a stupid Death Eater, what's the difference. So, that is my answer to YOU.

I don't know if we're on the same page anymore . . . What you said doesn't seem to go along with what I said at all.

^ yeah, i remember that one smart interviewer asked her once what was a question that she wanted to be asked that no one had, i think she answered "why didnt voldemort die on the night when he gave harry the scar?"

I think it could be either, because I wasn't sure if it was bestiality or not. Anyways, it could be in characters and creatures. It does involve both a character and a creature!
