I am afraid I must have muddled one of my main points before.  That point 
was that what JKR thinks/thought about her works, what she intended her 
work to portray, why she did not did not write things a certain way and 
what she intends the work to "mean" are irrelevant to the interpretation of 
the works themselves.
