Chancie: 

Yes, you are right about the interview questions.  The likely hood 
that JKR would give any truly shocking answers (like who is the HBP) 
are something like 9 zillion to 1, I'm not supposing we ask those, 
that would only be a great waste of our time, as well as the person 
who has to sort through all those questions.  I'm supposing we submit 
questions that might provide *SOME* type of information. For instance 
I believe it was you who proposed that Hogwarts should have classes 
to learn apparation (I apologize if it was not).  So asking things 
like that have a chance of being answered, and it's not plot 
sensitive material, or at least I don't think so.

And you are also right that the second half of my post was asking 
hypothetically if you could guarantee that any one question you asked 
JKR would be answered what would you choose to ask her.  In other 
words, if you could have her tell you anything about HP what you 
would you MOST want to know and why.  

Sorry if my post was somewhat unclear, that's what I get for trying 
to post when my daughter is awake.
