I'm pretty sure that I have the interaction right, but damage redirected to Gideon while he is animated is still "damage" and is thus prevented right?
So targeting an animated Gideon with Draconic Roar does nothing to Gideon on either end (it both prevents the 3 damage from the creature hit and would prevent the redirected 3 from a dragon reveal).
If your opponent chooses to redirect the damage to Gideon, yes.
306.7. If noncombat damage would be dealt to a player by a source controlled by an opponent, that opponent may have that source deal that damage to a planeswalker the first player controls instead. This is a redirection effect (see rule 614.9) and is subject to the normal rules for ordering replacement effects (see rule 616). The opponent chooses whether to redirect the damage as the redirection effect is applied.
If you are the one casting the Roar, and your opponent has the Gideon, you choose whether or not the damage will be redirected to the Gideon from the dragon reveal. You can choose to have the 3 damage dealt to the opponent
