Actually, no.  I think answers to questions like this (well,
okay, maybe not the one about the kiss :) ) is where JKR's
personality gets to shine through, and I found most of them
rather charming.  The woman doesn't exist to give us clues about
her forthcoming books, after all.  (She exists to =write= them,
yes?  :D )  Not to mention that she may =enjoy= answering them
more than she would dodging another so-called "valuable" question
that she doesn't want to answer yet.  Give JKR a break!
