lizzyben:

Since I posted that, I thought I should include the link:

JKR's dismay at favourite fansite Slytherins -

"JKR's website has a 'fansite of the month' slot where she
praises various HP fansites she likes. The funny thing is, both
the ones she'd admired so far are moderated and/or created by
people who identify as Slytherins. She confesses herself
disturbed - indeed 'shocked' by this. She likes these
site-moderators - even calls them 'my kind of people' for their
thoroughness - but claims not to understand why they are
interested in Slytherin House."

This is from a HPfGU post; I can't confirm or deny it beyond that. But
it does seem consistent w/her other quote about being "concerned" that
some people self-identify as Slytherins.
