Here's the link for the interview I was thinking of earlier:

Scroll down and click on:
Alan Rickman interview transcript from the Sweeney . . .

Here's the relevant quote:

Q:  Without any spoilers this film [HBP] does have some Snape's big moment.
AR:  Well, that's a spoiler, isn't it?

Q:  Are you looking forward to that without saying what it is?
AR:  Well, the only thing that I'll say is that for the first time shooting those films, I know what I'm doing and why.

Q:  Have you read ahead?
AR:  That's what I mean by that.

Q:  You've read the seventh book?
AR:  That's what I mean by that [laughs].

Also in the unauthorized bio by Maureen Paton there's a comment that he reads the book before making the movie, but I'd rather not use that book as a source as it's filled with errors and AR loaths it (with good reason).
