JKR's marriage: are we hearing about it?

Penny:" All I'm saying is that Rowling had one relatioship with lots 
of tension, sparks and passion ..... and it did not end well at all.  
I've no idea what her relationship with Dr. Murray is like, but if I 
were a betting woman, I'd say that she might well have had her fill 
of tempestuous passionate relationships marked by lots of bickering 
and rows."

All this becomes even more interesting the more you accept Hermione 
as JKR's Mary Sue.  JKR has often made the comparison between 
Hermione and herself, and she's said characters end up with the wrong 
people, at least at first.

Penny:"Please don't misunderstand and think that I'm suggesting Ron 
would be violent or abusive to Hermione.  I'm not.  Not at all.  I'm 
also not suggesting that all relationships where the couple spark 
from the passion created by rows end up in violence and threats."

Amen, sister.  Absolutely. 

JKR may not talk about her first marriage, but she isn't above an 
elbow in the ribs:

Penny:"and they were married on Oct 16, 1992 (Smith notes with 
amusement that the date Rowling chose for Trelawney's prediction 
relating to Lavender was Oct 16th ..... "that thing you dread, it 
will happen on Oct 16th")."

Are more jabs to come?  What form will they take?  And how will 
Hermione's decisions compare to those of her mentor from the Muggle 
world?
