It's called 'fan fiction', and it is one of the major
attractions to a lot of folks about HP...as well as
Star Trek, Babylon-5, X-Files, D&D and a virtual host
of other things.  The ability to interact within a
framework that is attractive/addictive is something
that stirs the creative in a lot of people.

So, no; it's not Rowling's writing, but her universe,
and hardly 'fake'.  Barb (the author of the story in
question) is on this list, and has her own group on
Yahoo devoted to her writing.

You might try searching Yahoo groups and giving it a
read.
