OOP: (spoiler) Luna=JKR?

In the first four books I always felt like Hermione was JKR's 
surrogate character in most situations.  Now, after reading OOP, I 
see some very interesting things about Luna that make me think that 
JKR may be transferring herself vicariously from Hermione to Luna.  
(For all you shippers... this could make for some interesting changes 
in opinion if it is at all true :o)  
IMHO, Luna's attitute seems to sort of transcend the petty, surface 
behavioral tendancies of her peers.  She is quite straightforward, 
she's above taunting others, she takes others' teasing of her with a 
grain of salt, and many of her comments sound to me like the 
omniscient voice of wisdom.  It's as if she is a Dumbledore in the 
making - the character with whom the author uses to introduce new 
thought provoking themes into the story.
One big reason I was led to thinking this was the somewhat recent 
death of JKR's mother.  The comments that Luna makes about losing her 
mother were to me, chillingly insightful.  I think maybe JKR may be 
re-entering the story with Luna now acting as her surrogate, rather 
than Hermione who is definitely taking on her own unique 
personality.  Did anyone else think this about Luna as well?
