SSSusan:
With all due respect, Hans, can you provide more info on this 
interview?  I've *never* heard/read JKR use the term "resurrection." 
In a quick search at Quick Quotes, I tried searching the 
terms "resurrection", "resurrected" and "resurrect".  The only match 
I got was this from The Guardian, July 8, 2000:

'She gets quite exercised if people tell her they think Harry's dead 
parents are going to come back to life at the end of book 
seven. "We've had petrified people, and we've had what would have 
been fatal injuries, but once you're dead you're dead. No magic power 
can resurrect a truly dead person."'

I would be thrilled if you could provide a link or portion of a 
transcript in which JKR talks about resurrection in the way you've 
mentioned here.
