Karen:  And never forget, she thought she was writing a story for 
children.  I don't suppose she ever envisioned her books being 
psychoanalized to the Nth degree, by hundreds of pedantic obsessives 
(I'm including myself in that description, LOL) stretching from one 
end of the globe to the other!

I know this is not stricty canon, but neither is what I am 
responding to and I do think that this is an important point that is 
often forgotten when people start getting heated.
