Well, yes and no. In the absence of outright contradiction I'll 
believe whatever I already concluded, sure. But I won't try to come 
up with an elaborate explanation as to why what JKR wrote didn't 
really happen. (like, you know, certain shippers do). Anyway!

However, I won't need or expect JKR's definitive answer for 
absolutely everything. If she never gives a name to the "missing 
Gryffindor girls" I won't be losing any sleep. If we never hear from 
Krum again, I can imagine my own conclusion to his story. That sort 
of thing. 

Just looking at the lists on the "Chekov's gun" posts - if people 
really expect all that stuff to be resolved...there are going to be 
some very disappointed people some Saturday afternoon.
