Yes, I do, but not half as annoying as: "A couple of people have told
me that they hoped to see Dudley at King's Cross in the Epilogue,
accompanying a wizarding child. I must admit that it did occur to me
to do that very thing, but a short period of reflection convinced me
that any latent wizarding genes would never survive contact with Uncle
Vernon's DNA, so I didn't do it".

Please, JKR, please stop being flip like this, because it just comes
across as meanminded.  Please stop making jokes about DNA when you
don't seem to know what you're talking about.  In fact, just please stop.

And when you talk about LV's soul being a stunted, maimed baby, can't
you see that you're creating an image that's likely to trigger pity? 
"Unwanted, stuffed out of sight, struggling for breath" - that's what
he always was, from the beginning, and that's how you chose to end
him.  Sauron was at least a grown-up.
