Siriusly Snapey Susan again:
Antigone, if it wasn't that exact quote, perhaps it was this one--
which is as close as I've seen anything come to "nearly gave it all 
away": 

[From #82940, where Joj wrote:]
I've been thinking about this quote from JKR.

"Key things happen in book two. No one knows how important those 
things are... yet. There's a lot in there. And I know how difficult 
it was to get it all in there without drawing too much attention to 
the clues."

Let me know, please, if that's the one or if your source was 
something different.  There are a *lot* of people who've tried to 
nail down this "nearly gave it all away" thing....
