Lyra adds another thought:

Don't know who at NBC has the task of culling thru all these 
questions, but I think something that person will be keeping in 
mind, and therefore anyone hoping to get a question answered 
should also bear in mind, is that the 'Today' show has a broad general audience with many people who (gasp!) don't care about 
the minutiae that comes up among the more dedicated fans. I think they'll be looking for questions that most people can at least follow. In other words, questions such as "who sent the Devil's 
Snare as a Christmas present to Bode at St. Mungo's" (just to pull 
an arcane example out of thin air) aren't going to be selected. Questions about familiar characters and familiar plot lines would, 
I would venture to guess, be more likely to be selected from the slush pile that's probably growing higher every minute over at 
MSNBC. (just my 2 knuts)
