Alla:

I snipped your whole post, because I wanted to ask you to clarify 
this one point.

Could you explain to me how you drew the conclusion that JKR has a 
death neurosis? I mean, maybe she does, I don't know, I am just 
curious what in the books gave you that idea.

I vaguely recall that you mention the interview that made you think 
that? Am I misremembering? Do you have the link if this interview 
indeed exists?

But of course I am mostly interested about the reasons in the books 
that made you drew this conclusion. I am assuming that it is based 
on the way JKR portrays death, so what is it?

I mean it is not a fear of death, right? DD famously talks about 
death as next great adventure, etc, so what is it?

Thanks :)

Alla
