Alla:
What? You mean JKR herself edited the interview and did a voice over 
it?

I find it **hilarious** and can only say poor JKR if she felt a need 
to do that. 


Did she leave in he is "spiteful and a bully" remark or did she cut 
that out as well?

So does author's intent counts now or is it still irrelevant? I am 
asking this question in general, not just to you.

My view of Snape does not change – I see spiteful, bully and not a 
hero, while brave in the text, but  oy. Was she afraid of leaving it 
as is?

At least we know what she meant to say in the first place before she 
changed it, LOL.
