Okay, I'll bite.  In what way do you see JKR as trying to have her cake
and eat it too with DD?  Myself, I think most of the problem comes from
the "epitome of goodness" comment.  That creates an immense tension
which fuels much of the DD argument.  I wonder if, given the chance to
give that interview again, JKR would phrase things the same way?
