I just had to leave in this line, it tickled me so. :)

Mike:
Then I laughed again. :))
I'm with you va32h, I've stopped paying attention to JKR's interviews 
from the release of DH on. I read too many things in DH that 
contradicted her previous interviews (let's not repeat that list, 
shall we?), that I find no value in anything she hasn't written in 
the books. I agree with your cranial-anal inversion possibility.

Mike:
Ahh, I see based on your previous implication and with this "off the 
top of her head" phrasing that you agree with my conjecture of her 
anatomically impossible contortion. ;)

Especially regarding these additional news items that Adam brought 
up, she has confirmed to me that she hasn't thought out the back 
story for the Marauders AT ALL. I mean, I already seriously doubted 
her ability to subtract or add when it came to keeping her years 
straight. This "news" proves that she not just bad with maths, she 
didn't even try to use it.

I'm going to proceed with my analysis, speculations, conjectures, and 
guesses without the aid of MS Rowling's excursions into the world of 
interviewing or Q&A.

Mike:
I'll entertain possibilities in a future encyclopedia if she limits 
it her pre-release, backstory notes. But even then, I'm afraid it 
will only show her lack of insight into her own characters. It also 
might expose her as not as deep as we've given her credit. We may 
well find that the parallels, motifs, allegoricals, etc. that we've 
proffered are more than she intended.

OK, I'll say it: Ms Rowling, could you please follow Mr. Twain's 
advice and cease speaking up to remove all doubt?!
