A few notes-

HP as children's book -> A direct quote from JKR's own letter - "Dear 
Mr. Little, I have written a book intended for 9-12 year olds". 
Pretty conclusive, no?

Rita Skeeter was originally supposed to appear in the Pub in PS, but 
JKR decided against it as fame shouldn't effect Harry until Book 4.

No specific ships were mentioned - none of the H/H rumours are true.

She's already written the chapter with the death that will be so hard 
for her - but she's got to rewrite it, so likely not in OOP (my 
money's on Ron). Apparently it has to happen.

Quite interesting, all in all,
Jon

PS She mentions that she likes people who are "obsessed" with small 
details. LOONs really should introduce themselves someday.
