Heh, I just read this and was going to post it.
It doesn't ruin anything at all for me. I never really thought of Dumbledore as a sexual being in the first place, as it never played any sort of part in the books. His sexuality plays no part in his actions and/or his personality in the books.
I personally like to hear details like this about the characters. I've been reading these books for years and the little details that she has been sharing since Deathly Hallows came out helps to answer things that conjecture will help with. It helps to answer tidbits that were never completely addressed and to fill out the images of smaller characters that were not well defined due to publishers not wanting to print a 2000 page book.
A student asked her if Dumbledore had ever found love. I don't know why people are upset about her answering it. Would it be as upsetting if it was a women and would the decision to announce that be labeled as unnecessary, seeing as that was not worth addressing in the book? I don't think that would be the case.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
