> JKR will tell fans when theories are off the mark, when asked she 
will not lie or purposefully confuse us, she will tell us that a 
theory is without merit or she won't comment, therefore her "no 
comments" tell fans that they are onto something important.
 

va32h:
On this point, I respectfully disagree. JKR has said in interviews 
that she enjoys the fan speculation, and does not seek to discourage 
it, unless she thinks it is significantly going down the wrong road. 
So her "no comment" is, in my mind, as likely to tell fans that she 
thinks their theory is merely entertaining as it is to indicate that 
the theory is important.
