Oh, and two more things.

1) Why did Harry break up with Ginny if this insidious "love potion 
perfume" is in effect?  Did she run out the day of Dubmledore's 
funeral?

2) Says the goddess: "...because the plan was, which I really hope I 
fulfilled, is that the reader, like Harry, would gradually discover 
Ginny as pretty much the ideal girl for Harry. She's tough, not in an 
unpleasant way, but she's gutsy. He needs to be with someone who can 
stand the demands of being with Harry Potter, because he's a scary 
boyfriend in a lot of ways. He's a marked man. I think she's funny, 
and I think that she's very warm and compassionate. These are all 
things that Harry requires in his ideal woman."

Or are we going to pretend that interviews don't mean 
anything...again?
