Neri:

I believe Naama was talking about another quote, the one from JKR's
website:

"Who is your favourite character?

I love: Harry, Hermione, Ron, Hagrid, Dumbledore, Ginny, Fred, George
and Lupin. I love writing (though would not necessarily want to meet)
Snape. My favourite new character is Luna Lovegood."

Perhaps of more significance than the words love/like/favorite is the
natural way in which JKR groups Lupin together with the kids, Hagrid
and DD, while (as SSSusan mentioned) she does make the distinction
regarding Snape. And again, it is probably one of many questions she
gets, so she didn't have to answer it, or she could have chosen a less
direct wording. We all know how good she is at evasion.
