Modified JKR Quote?

A colleague sent me a link to the following article:

http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2-2003202221,00.html

I'm not familiar with various British publications, so I'm not sure 
if the Sun is considered more traditional news source or tabloid 
(although having since glanced at the sidebar advertising and home 
page I'm leaning toward the latter...), but the article is 
interesting anyway.  It reports that a couple of pre-release copies 
of OotP were discovered in a field and the guy who found them turned 
them in.

The key quote, however, comes when the author of the article attempts 
to familiarize folks with information about the book.

"The 37-year-old writer, who lives with her husband and two children 
in Scotland, also announced: 'There's at least one death that's going 
to be horrible to write, or rather rewrite.'"

Now, I know I've seen the "There's at least one death that's going to 
be horrible to write" part before.  It's led to lots of fun 
speculation here as to who the goner is in Book 5.

But I don't ever recall seeing the last three words before... "...or 
rather rewrite."

REwrite?

Admittedly, this could just be based on timing.  JKR, the great 
perfectionist, could have at the time been in the midst of one of her 
many drafts when the quote was made, so she'd already sketched it 
out, was dreading adding the detail and emotion we'd all expect, so 
she said "rewrite" since was mentally preparing herself for that next 
draft of the scene(s).

Or maybe not.  Maybe she's already written about this death before 
but only in passing, so she's REwriting it.  Our fear of losing 
Hagrid, or Dumbledore, or Ron or Hermione can be delayed a few years 
until Book Six comes out.

If she's rewriting a death, and it will be horrible to write, I'm 
thinking that means she's touched on it before, but because of the 
story line must now detail it.

If I'm on the right track about this (which is open to debate, 
including by me, especially since I'm not sure of the credibility of 
the news source), then I think she must be prepared write the details 
of the Halloween night death of Lily or James, and somehow Harry must 
see or experience it firsthand.  

Perhaps this is where the officially released "I'm going to tell you 
everything" quote comes into play - Harry has a dream and vividly 
sees what he's only heard before (his mother dying - it seems that 
James was out-of-range when he died), goes to Dumbledore, who figures 
its time to 'fess up on Harry's role in the world.  Or perhaps it's 
after that quote, and we learn that Dumbledore was somehow there, saw 
it all happen, was powerless for some reason to stop it, and has 
dumped the memory into the Pensieve so that Harry can see it.

Thoughts?
