Wow... I've never heard of this interview. I can't believe, with the 
number of people poring over HP for clues, that if this is true, 
someone wouldn't have solved it by now.

OK, now I feel thick. WHERE was this phrase?

OK, now we are in territory I can speculate on.

D-Dore's gleam: I realize there is probably some epic twist in the 
offing here, but I have a much more short-term idea about this.

What if D-Dore's gleam was just a sporting kind of "Well, that was a 
good move, Voldemort." 

I sometimes wonder if Dumbledore's teaching pride got in the way 
there. Whatever else he was, Tom Riddle was perhaps the most 
brilliant student ever at Hogwarts and must have been a joy to teach. 

Snape's movement: My own theory is that the movement was one of 
surprise. For some reason, Snape did not expect Lucius to be in that 
circle, which tells me that maybe Lucius has double-crossed Snape.
