I agree with Meliss9900's great analysis/summary of JKR's comments on 
ships.  I think two are three areas in which you can see this type of 
progression in her comments:

1. ships - early comments fairly clearly indicate at least the R/H 
ship, later as (to her surprise) she sees that this is not perceived as 
obvious by the readers she becomes more cagey about it...

2. survival of Harry -- early comments pretty clear that he survives 
(some comments even that she would not "say never" to a post-Hogwarts 
book about him, later she start to create suspence and refuses to 
confirm that he will survive.
