Three Cauldrons was Re: Rowling says Dumbledore is gay

Carol earlier:
<snip> > I think it's just another indication of JKR's
absent-mindedness. (She also evidently said that James shared his
money with Sirius, forgetting all the gold in Sirius's vault, not to
mention the shabby treatment implied by forgetting poor unemployed
Lupin.) It's like slipping and calling your mother by your sister's
name. Or even calling her by your brother's name. The kind of thing I
would do. (I only notice that I've called Voldemort "Dumbledore" or
Harry "Snape" *after* I've hit Send.

considering that Neville is canonically a Hogwarts teacher. Or maybe
she's forgotten that, too.

Make that Nepal--and leave us to interpret the books without her help

Carol again:

That's what the summary at Leaky says, and it's no doubt what she
meant, but if you scroll down to the actual transcript (admittedly, a
work in progress with some obvious errors of transcription), you'll
find this:

"JKR: To take Remus first, Remus was unemployable. Poor Lupin, prior
to Dumbledore taking him in, lead [sic] a really impoverished life
because no one wanted to employ a werewolf. The other three were
full-time members of the Order of the Phoenix. [And Lupin wasn't?]
<snip> So that's what they did, [after?] they left school. James has
[sic] gold, enough to support Sirius [sic] and Lily. So I suppose they
lived foff [sic] a private income. But they were full-time fighters,
that's what they did, until Lily fell pregnant with Harry. So then
they went into hiding."

And I'm wondering what others think of her latest remark concerning
the revelation about DD's sexual orientation:

"He is what he is and I have the right to say what I say about him."

Who said that she didn't have that right? All that we (some of us,
including me) said is that it isn't in the books and we (or I, anyway)
wish she'd allow us to interpret the books for ourselves without
telling us what to think.

Her position now is that DD's relationship with GG was an
"infatuation," whether reciprocal or one-sided, she didn't say. Not
quite the same as being "in love." is it? Or should we even worry
about what she says outside the books.

Anyone remember her reaction to the reader who asked if Lily had ever
been a Death Eater, "How dare you?" Despite her millions (or is it
billions), she strikes me as remarkably insecure.

Carol, still liking the books but not fond of JKR as a person at the
moment (but with no grudge against anyone who still thinks she's
wonderful)
