The first article, by Elphias Doge goes something like this: I met Dumbledore when he was eleven and it was awesome! He awesome to me and awesome to Muggles.
LOL. Is Doge's DD-worship supposed to be as nauseating as it comes across? I thought so, before realizing that a story about Harry by his friends would undoubtedly sound exactly the same.
Incidentally, I also thought "Elphias" was JKR-ese for Eliphas, as with Rabastan for Rastaban and Bartemius for Bartimeus, but apparently it's a real name.
Rita goes on to insinuating that there was something “sinister” in Dumbledore’s relationship with Harry. Not that gay = pedophile by any means, but this might have been a good place to bring up the fact that Dumbledore was gay. I find Rita rather restrained for not mentioning it.
Well, apparently his gayness only ever manifested as an unrequited crush on Grindelwald around 1901, and she can't bring that up without preempting her juiciest news. "Best mates with the previous Dark Lord" trumps "in love with another man". Hinting at Dumbledore/Harry (Dumbarry?) is probably her way of preparing the ground.
