I don't think I would necessarily read the quote exactly that way.  If
you go to the transcript, you will see that there was a bit of
interruption going on between caller and JKR, and JKR may well have
been saying "Yes" as short for "Yes, I understand" or "Yes, please
continue" or some other similar expression.  It is true that the
caller asked if Hagrid was going to be in all the books, and it is
true that JKR uttered the word "Yes", but it is not quite so clear
that the "Yes" is in response to the question.
