Sorry if I've misinterpreted this, because quite honestly, I often 
find these shipping discussions hard to follow. =)

However, although I agree that people in HP don't "go on dates," I 
doubt this had anything to do with JKR's answer.  Seeing as she's the 
one who created this whole universe, she was probably somewhat 
confused/thrown off by the question as well.  Which is probably why 
she said, "They're platonic friends," rather than a simple yes or no 
answer.  Giving a yes or no answer to a somewhat confusing question 
would just confuse everyone even more, so instead, she made it into 
its own complete, stand-alone answer.

Hope that makes sense.

Who doesn't SHIP one way or another, as long as Ron gets some 
affection eventually. =)
