I saw it and thought it was said with affection.  I do believe JKR knows that we the fans have made her books the successes they are and is almost overwhelmed knowing that her story, characters, and themes mean as much to us as they do her.

Dateline on Sunday (7 PM EDT) is devoted to that interview if you want to catch it.  I suspect that what was aired on the Today Show are snippets of that interview and you'll be able to see what she said and how she said it yourself and in context within the entire interview on Dateline.  Also, Mugglenet.com has links to both interviews aired on the Today show (one aired on Thursday, one on Friday).
