Jen R:

I think this is the quote being referred to, although it's ambiguous 
of course!

Q: One of our internet correspondents wondered if Snape is going to 
fall in love. 

JKR:(JKR laughs) Who on earth would want Snape in love with them? 
That's a very horrible idea. 

Q: There's an important kind of redemptive pattern to Snape

JKR: He, um, there's so much I wish I could say to you, and I can't 
because it would ruin. I promise you, whoever asked that question, 
can I just say to you that I'm slightly stunned that you've said 
that and you'll find out why I'm so stunned if you read Book 7. 
That's all I'm going to say.
