Has JKR said in an interview that it was a mistake?

I mean, if we're saying that the publishers halted production of the 
Fantastic Beats book so some artist could scribble Harry's 
handwriting in the margins to fix a mistake, then why not just... fix 
the mistake?

If there is an interview where JKR has said the Kappas and Snape 
having his facts wrong was a mistake, then fine, I stand corrected. 
But otherwise, I see it is as JKR telling us something about Snape.

Mainly, that as a DADA teacher, he's a helluva potions master.
