That response sounded to me a bit like changing the subject:  
Q: Will Snape fall in love?
A: Who would want Snape to fall in love with them?

It's not really an answer to the original question, is it?  It's
changing the subject from Snape to someone else's reaction to Snape,
and it's done humorously, but it seems almost like a reflexive way of
turning the question aside.  It doesn't necessarily mean that Rowling
was hiding something important: she could have just been laughing at
some of the far-fetched ideas people get!  But it could also be a way
of avoiding to answer a question that's getting a little too close to
the truth.
