Yeah, I remember this interview.  Had to re-read it to refresh my 
memory though, so thanks for the link so I didn't have to go 
searching.  If it is somehow related to FITD though, then how come he 
says it had to do with references to a particular character (almost as 
if that character does not otherwise appear in Book 1, maybe)?  I'm 
asking this for real; I honestly have *no* idea what it's about.  It 
might very well be FITD, which I admit has some very conceivable 
future book possibilities.

I wondered before (and I guess I still do) if the script edit was 
related to this rumor that supposedly they did filming at a place to 
pose as Godric's Hollow, which implies to me that they might show 
a little of Voldemort's attack there, which I'm sure could have 
*major* future book implications (enough that I might not recommend 
them doing this, but I suppose if it was run by JKR then it must be 
fine as it stands).  I kept expecting that rumor to eventually be 
debunked, but it never was (unless I missed it) so I'm still 
interested to see how it turns out.  The statement that Kloves said 
his idea conflicted with Book 5 seems strange in that case though, 
because I don't expect the full events of that evening to really make 
sense until Book 7.  Not that I know.  I (sadly) have no access to the 
deep, dark secrets of JKR's plans.

So I also wondered if maybe it had something to do with Mrs. 
(Arabella) Figg.  After all it has to be someone who is relevant to 
Book 1 and Book 5, that we apparently don't know something about.  And 
Mrs. Figg seems to fit that bill.

Or am I misinterpreting the "reference to a character" statement 
altogether?
