Very nicely done. I like your character sketches of Albus and Minerva, though it does focus almost exclusively on their good points, more so for for Albus than Minerva. Of course, that's true of AD/MM shippers as well.
Like some other posters here, I'm not entirely certain that I agree with your generalizations about the fandom/shippers. Your age range seems mostly accurate, though you have to realize that the shippers are aging, like everyone else. The sixteen-year-olds who started liking AD/MM after the release on GoF are now in their twenties, for example.
I'm non-religious myself, so I feel put-out defending anyone else's religion; however, I don't think having a religious background makes anyone more or less likely to have adequate spelling or grammar.

Overall, that's a very nicely done essay.
