[Lee]:
Okay, gonna stick my foot in deep here.  JKR *is* emotional.  I say that
because there have been past references to depression and her open
revelations about suicidal thoughts after the break-up of her first
marriage, coupled with her anxiety attacks when dealing with crowds (I
remember that from A&E but don't ask for exact quotes).  In other words, I
get the feeling that she likes to have control over her environment and,
when that control and security are compromised, she is adversely affected.

Now, here, in her opinion, (possibly), things are not secure and not within
her ability to control, so "playing the victim" is easy.  I get the
impression from some things she's said in interviews that she's a
perfectionist.  Yes, there are inconsistencies and stuff but her deep desire
to have the writing come out right would fall into the perfectionist thing.
And so, being a perfectionist and seeing what she considers imperfect is a
horror to her.  The fact that a fan didn't wait for her "Scottish Book" and
went ahead with the Lexicon is also a horror as it cuts into her control of
the Potterverse, in her thinking, (possibly).

This is all conjecture and speculation and my opinion, but it's something to
consider...ya think? Maybe?
