Is this the post that we think was from JKR?

Is is necessarily a glaring error?  We do not know yet what place 
the "Potter" books occupy *in their own universe.*  LOTR, after all, 
is supposedly culled from the Red Book of Westmarch, being the 
writings of Bilbo, Frodo, and Sam.  Perhaps the HP books occupy a 
similar place in the Potterverse, being memoirs written by 
Dumbledore.  In that case Dumbledore would be the "narrarator," i.e. 
the fictional author, whereas JKR would be the author, i.e. the real 
author.

I'm not arguing for that interpretation.  However, it is perfectly 
possible and it does provide an answer for how Dumbledore might 
correctly be called the narrarator and JKR the author.

As for JKR referring to herself (and praising herself), if she wrote 
the post it could just be a joke, a way of poking fun in her own 
direction.  Once again, not arguing for that, but it is at least 
possible and somewhat plausible.
