Here are my notes from the chat:

Snape is 35 or 36 years old.

You can do unfocused and uncontrolled magic without a wand (Harry 
blowing up Aunt Marge, for instance), but to do really good spells, 
yes, you need a wand.

JKR thinks fanfics are wonderful, she's happy HP has inspired so many 
to write.

She plans her books so carefully, sometimes she thinks 'her brain is 
going to explode'...

A galleon is equal to about five pounds.

Ron's birthday is March 1.

Have any of the HW professors had spouses?  Yes, a few, that info is 
sort of restricted, you'll find out why...

Will Harry ever notice the long-suffering Ginny Weasley?  You'll 
see...poor Ginny, eh?

Does Hermione like Ron as more than a friend?  The answer to that is 
in Goblet of Fire...  (Yay, Zsenya, you made it through!)

Someone asked about Trelawney's first correct prediction, but she 
couldn't answer, said it would give too much away.

Andrea already mentioned about the room  in GoF with magical 
properties; my first thought was the kitchen...  Well, again none of 
my questions made it through, but at least she gave Ron's b-day, and 
Snape's age.  (I was trying for those, too.)
