Thanks! Since I posted my original query, I've discovered that JKR's authorship of that 
scene was also mentioned by Chris Columbus in an October 10, 2001 interview with 
Empire Online. The Columbus interview itself seems not to be archived, but reports of 
the interview mention that the scene was from one of the discarded 1st chapter drafts 
of PS/SS - which, in light of what she's now told us about the first chapter of HPB, is 
even more interesting than it would otherwise be. I'd bet if she brought back a 
snippet of the discarded chapter for the PS/SS film, there's a very good chance it's the 
same discarded chapter she's planning to use in bk. 6.
