IMO, and this is of course just speculation, too bad I cannot get 
into JKR's head. 

JKR changes the events where fans reaction goes in conflict with her 
major vision ( as I said I do believe that she planned the major 
story  as in Harry and Voldemort story, but I am not buying that she 
planned everything – too many inconsistencies, IMO).

Like, Sirius character is certainly important to many fans (myself 
included), but is he important to JKR? I mean of course she likes him 
as her creation, but does he truly important to major storyline or 
was he just created in order for Harry to experience another loss, as 
someone speculated some time ago?

I suspect so, that is why IMO JKR would not change anything in regard 
to Sirius, but Dumbledore's character for example IS truly important 
to JKR's vision, IMO, since she often speaks through him, etc, etc, 
that is why if many fans do not buying what she is trying to do with 
Dumbledore, I absolutely think that she will change whatever is 
needed and possible to get through that Dumbledore was not in any way 
approving what Dursleys did ( as was discussed many times – I 
completely agree with LL that Dumbledore at Dursleys WAS a major 
change on JKR's behalf, because her message was not getting through. 
Again, it IS just speculation, but as again was discussed many times 
I do find DD at the end of OOP and DD at the beginning of HBP to be 
at the very least inconsistent. I am very grateful to JKR that she 
made DD behave like that at Dursleys, because if he would not finally 
CLEARLY say what he thinks of Dursleys behaviour, I would find 
the "epithome of goodness" to  be quite revolting.

I find it also funny that when last scene of OOP was discussed before 
HBP came out the arguments were raised that DD was clear enough  
about Dursleys and to do something more would be overhit and not a 
good writing on JKR behalf.

Well, HBP comes out and it turns out that JKR DID feel a need to do 
something more, much more and with much more clarity IMO. Was it 
because of fans' reaction? We could only speculate, but I do think so 
that it at least played a role.

And  with Harry and Hermione, um, why would JKR accommodate the fans 
that wanted them together ( no offense intended to H/H shippers) if 
it is clearly turned out not to be important to her vision.

JMO,
