That threw me for a second - but I think what Joywitch has noticed 
is that the question as written could imply an assumption that the 
fans have found intentional anagrams (beyond TMR=IALR) - and that 
the question is asking JKR if there any anagrams that the fans have 
missed.

I think it should be rephrased to something like: "Fans have found 
ways to anagram many of the names currently in Harry Potter.  Are 
there any more names in the series that are intentional anagrams of 
anything beyond the example seen in Chamber of Secrets?"
