Lady Potions:
To me Rowling comes off like that princess that was told that the  
peasants do not have bread - the princess not understanding that that  
meant they had no food to eat, replied (knowing only of her own  
lifestyle) "well then let them eat cake."

  doug:
That princess to whom you attribute the phrase, was Marie Antionette,  
to whom the phrase, "Let them eat cake!" has been attributed. Cake is  
the scrapings from the pan in which the bread was baked.
