I suspect that we shall never know for sure.

It sounds like one of the questions that JKR is _far_ too diplomatic to give
the most probable answer so there's no point asking because if you try,
you'll get the diplomatic response rather than the real one.

I'd put "Is Lockhart based on your ex?" in the same field with

"Which of the characters are gay?"

and

"Is Harry a Christian?"

Any other suggestions, anyone?

Cheers
