I checked, the audio file was not on the website anymore
http://theconnection.org/shows/
The shows was dated December 28, 1999. But "The Connection" website
seems to have move to a new server and clear out everything that is
prior to August 2001, so it's not there anymore. But I've listen to it
countless of times. Read the transcript I typed (instead of the Quick
Quote's) JKR clearly was referring to the "Love" question.  Just use
logic. The host's name was Lydon and JKR would have addres

Lydon: Er - one of our connec- ... one of our internet correspondents
wondered if Snape is going to fall in love?

***** An anonymous Internet correspondent ask such question

JKR: Yeah? Who on earth would want Snape in love with them, that is a
very horrible idea. Erm ...
Lydon: But you'd get an important kind of redemptive pattern to Snape

***** Host Lydon was taken aback by JKR's dismissing the idea of Snape
in love, he probably assume Snape is those redempt-by-love cliche
archetypal lonely meanie character so he comment (this is pre-

JKR: It is, isn't it ... I got ...
There's so much I wish I could say to you, and I can't because it'd
ruin ... I promise you ... whoever asked that question, can I just say
to you that I'm - I'm slightly stunned that you've said that - erm -
and you'll find out why I'm so stunned if you read book 7. And that's
all I'm going to say.

***** JKR already respond the "It is, isn't it" regarding "redemptive
pattern to Snape" statement by the host (is that close enough to be a
"YES"?). So when she said "whoever asked that question", she obviously
is not talking about the host Lydon whose name she would have
addressed. She would have said "Lydon, I'm stunned by your question
about Snape's redemption" but she did not.  She's referring to the
anonymous internet correspondent's question regarding love.

Actually the way she word was not why no one culd love him, but why
was it horrible to be love BY Snape.

D. who feel extremely silly analysis JKR's interview like this but I
just can't stand all these unnecessary confusions and honestly don't
think all these love stuffs will be any that big a deal.  And NO I
don't think what JKR hint is about any romantic future plot lines
regarding Snape, as evident by her "that's horrible" reaction.
