Subtext is not a substitute for text. There are roughly OVER NINE THOUSAND textual het relationships in HP, JKR could've easily been more inclusive (no publisher's going to seriously restrict the content of one of the best-selling kids' series in years), but she chose not to be. The *intentional* subtext of Albus & Grindelwald may be better than nothing, but it just highlights the big, gaping absence more.
