Sarah:
I don't want to put words in Lupinlore's mouth, but it seemed clear
she was referring to an analysis she didn't agree with, there.  One
she's seen from people on the list and doesn't share.  (Those people
may include me.)  She wrote that as one of three distinct
possibilities, and then said that she tends toward a different one.

For the record, I do not believe that killing more characters would
indicate mental or emotional problems in JKR.

But I do think that Lupinlore was talking about stuff other fans think
and say, not reality or her own beliefs/analysis.
