     To me, citing the letter is a bit like the whole Dumbledore is gay thing. Sure, we have the Word of God [1] that he is but I prefer my evidence to come from the text.

     Word of God - that is, of Author - is that Professor Dumbledore is gay, but if we're given his biography and can't see that anyway then I think something's wrong.
