Alla:

I actually read that quote as completely discarding the idea that 
Lily's sacrifice was planned in advance.

I was actually quite happy to read that, because the idea of Lily 
preparing the sacrifice in advance did not sit well with me.

Din't JKR say that what Lily did counts more simply because she WAS 
offered choice to live or die and James was not?

Lily did more by simply consciously choosing to die for her child.

That's how I read the interview anyway.

JMO,

Alla, a little bit confused.
