A Goldfeesh:
The quote is from JKR's Oct. 12, 1999 The Connection interview (a 
radio interview if I remember correctly).

>From Quick Quill Quotes:
<Interviewer>
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. 
<Interviewer>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.

Hope that helps,

(who felt like the time turner was in use seeing the names of 
Eloise, Tabouli, Amanda, and then that of Pidgeon37 and Cindy- by 
accidently hitting "next" on Tabouli's post.)
