Well now I can't find the interview.  But in searching, I did come 
across some other odd things.  For instance, JK HATES cats.  Yet she 
says there is something to them all (Mrs. Figg, Crookshanks, Prof. 
McGonagal.)

What or who would you send into Room 101?
Cats - I don't like them, and certain journalists..

Is there something more to the cats appearing in the books than first 
meets the eye? (i.e. Mrs. Figg's cats, Crookshanks, Prof. McGonagall 
as a cat, etc.)
Ooooo, another good question. Let's see what I can tell you without 
giving anything away....erm....no, can't do it, sorry. 




And the other thing I was just thinking about, if Crouch!Moody really 
was circling the outside of the maze making sure Harry reached the 
cup, how was Cedric able to almost touch it before he turned back to 
help Harry?  We read the scene as if Cedric is doing something good.  
But was he really under the Imperious Curse?  If the spider is 
damaging Harry there, and hindering him from reaching the cup, why 
doesn't Crouch!Moody do something to get it out of the way?

Just some thoughts :o)
