When did Rowling say that? Do you happen to know the interview in 
which she said it? Man, that would really blow the LOLLIPOPS theory 
to hell in a handbasket. Unless of course she said it to throw people 
off track. I still think we have wiggle room with the Lily was 
Severus's friend theory though. And would it still count as a love 
triangle if Lily and James were unaware of Snape's crush?
