IMO JKR is referring to a fan's screen name. I don't think that she'd be 
mentioning DR's relatives in a chat. 

>From JKR's answer we can determine this is a question that Ms Radcliffe is 
*desperate* to have answered. IMO that rules out oblique references to Ann 
Radcliffe since she'd be approximately 200 years old and probably in no shape to be 
asking questions let alone receiving answers to them.
