va32h:

Well I concluded a long time ago that the whole "planned in detail for
17 years" was nothing but a fan-enhanced myth.  She is so clearly
pulling things out of...well, you know.  

Honestly, I don't know why so many readers absolutely MUST have JKR's
final word on everyone and everything.  Isn't something you could
imagine for a character just as "good" as what JKR made up off the top
of her head?

I certainly feel that my totally made up backstory for the marauders
is as good as JKR's totally made up backstory for the marauders.  And
I probably thought about for longer than she did too. 

I hope she never writes that dang encyclopedia.  I could not care less
what she has to say about HP anymore.
