I am one of lucky people whose question got picked when I submit them to
the 
link Entropymail provide (thanks for notifying us). I sent in about 10
questions, 
and only get one of them on (it was my 1st one as well). I guess they
did screen 
the questions and picked the ones sending to JKR. My nickname was Ernie
and 
asked her the question about Snape's Boggart and Patronus. Actually I
got the 
question from the past Snape discussions on this list. I thought it is a
more 
indirect way to probe Snape's mystery, because his greatest fear and
guardian 
shield can tell us a lot about his true motives....hence a hint about
which side he's 
on and basically what's going with him. Well too bad she answer in her
usual 
brickwallness. ;)  She could have give us something to chew on, like if
his 
patronus is a form of bird, aquatic or four legged animal...

WEE!!

Me too! I submitted about 40 questions in all, and the one of mine that
got picked was sort of in the middle. I asked about all kinds of things,
but I tried to make it questions there was some hope of her answering
and would give evidence for particular things rather than straight up
yes or no for big theory related questions. The Tonks question was just
for fun, and a few of mine were kind of silly (Will Neville get a
girlfriend?). I am wondering if *she* picks the questions or do the
screeners? Surely, the screen things, at least in part, and she chooses
from there, because she talked in a later interview with Lizo about
picking what to ask. This is kind of a rare opportunity, because not
only do we know what questions she did entertain, we also know which
ones she didn't. I went back in my browser cache and saved most of them.
I know quite a few people who asked about Ron's eye color, and that did
NOT get answered. Same for Mark Evans related questions. I know quite a
few (including me) who asked vampire!Snape related questions, and that
one was answered. Anyway... the questions I asked (but not all... there
were more, and apologies for leaving out possibly good questions and
asking a few silly ones -- it was late at night!):

Anyway... just curious what other people asked that didn't get answered.
