Did anyone see the interview on the Today show? There's a quote in my 
newspaper from it. JKR says she couldn't answer every question in the 
books, "
because I'm dealing with a level of obsession in some of my 
fans that will not rest until they know the middle names of Harry's 
great-great-grandparents."

Does anyone know if she said that with affectionate humor or with 
derision?  I took umbrage with it (we were discussing jewelry at the 
time).  After all, she's the one who created the Black family tree and 
leaked complex background stories for incredibly unimportant 
characters. It reminds me of her reaction to H/H shippers or to the 
idea that Snape was a vampire---as if there was nothing that might 
suggest either idea.

Disillusioned is the word that best describes how I feel after DH. The 
only thing that sustains me is my long held belief that Snape is really 
a Gary Stu. Dark Mirror, indeed!
