The main LGBTQ+ character confirmed by J.K. Rowling is Albus Dumbledore, revealed to be gay and to have had a passionate, intense love relationship with the dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald in their youth, though this isn't explicitly detailed in the books but rather in later interviews and supplementary materials. While not canon, some fans also interpret other characters like Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, or even Harry Potter as queer, but Dumbledore and Grindelwald are the key confirmed figures.
The movies really make it seem like he could be his dad (also because Harry doesn't actually have the most striking resemblance to James in the movies...) but in the books it's very clear that he isn't. Severus and Lily hadn't been in contact for a long time when she had Harry.
There isn't a single character consistently mentioned exactly 432 times, as mention counts vary by analysis, but it's a number often associated with significant but secondary figures or specific discussions about character frequency, potentially pointing towards someone like Professor Vector or a deep-dive analysis detail on a fan site or quiz, but Harry is the most mentioned overall.

Hufflepuff is often considered the worst house at Hogwarts because it hasn't contributed as much to magic as other houses, except for a few exceptions like Newt Scamander. Hufflepuffs are known for their hard work but it rarely leads to major magical discoveries.
Crookshanks. Hermione Granger's beloved cat, Crookshanks was notably half-Kneazle - and seemed to share Hermione's impressive intelligence.
I have been struggling with mental health illness for some time, and it would be wrong to try and continue when I can no longer give the fans and the series the full commitment and energy it deserves.
Severus Snape was born 9 January 1960 to Tobias Snape, an abusive Muggle, and Eileen Prince, a neglectful pure-blood witch. He began to identify with his mother's family and created a secret nickname from his mother's maiden name, calling himself the "Half-Blood Prince".
