If you follow vmonte's link, you'll find out that 'lorem ipsum...'
taken from the writings of Cicero, is the standard text used by
graphic artists to simulate the look of real text so that they can
design a page before the actual text is available. Lorem ipsum
has been used for this purpose for hundreds of years, so my
guess is any correspondence between Cicero's work and JKR's
is purely coincidental.
