The second point is that the school newspaper article said the source 
of the "fan" quote was a recent CNN interview (so, in 2002 I guess).  
I have never heard of such an interview, I certainly can't find it on 
CNN's site, and I wondered if anyone here could help.  I just see 
this 
as a clue, somewhere to look if anyone knows how or remembers any 
such 
thing.  My computer skills may be inadequate.

The two above points say to me that there is the possibility that CNN 
did some JKR interviews which they did not keep in their archives.  
This is sad news to me!  The only interview the site does have is her 
appearance on Larry King.

Me:
Didn't we try to look for the 'fan' quote a while ago? I don't think 
anyone found it then.

But anyway, I ran a search on Aberforth's Goat for the word 'fan' and 
the quote didn't crop up, although I admit I don't know how reliable 
the search engine is. The Lexicon also doesn't have the quote listed. 

The only CNN interview that was listed on Aberforth's was the Larry 
King one. I read it all the way through and the quote wasn't there. I 
didn't see the 1999 video interview there, but you're right - it's a 
bit early for the 'fan' quote.

Personally, I think that this has "RUMOUR" written all over it.
