I thought JKR might have known because they sounded like
friends in the interview. Adler was asking more questions
about how JKR was doing then she was probing for the details
we here so cherish.

However, I agree that there isn't much evidence at all (if any)
that JKR knows anything about "modern" witchcraft and paganism..
the spell casting is very different, for example, although the 
visualization technique in the repelling the Boggart and Expecto
Patronum are similar. Hmmm..perhaps I should think about this and 
expand!
