The Galleries site has been down for over a week. The list of 
statements JKR has made about book five, including the comment about 
the female DADA teacher, is available in the Lexicon:
http://www.i2k.com/~svderark/lexicon/book_op.html

This list did not originate with me, although I did get permission 
to publish it in the Lexicon. I have never taken the time to verify 
any of these facts from the transcripts of the various interviews 
and chats, so take it with a grain of salt.

That particular fact comes from an online chat in October 2000 on 
AOL.
