Allie:

And here I MUST comment because it becomes clear from DH that MANY 
MANY things were planned in advance, from the time that SS was written:

For example:

Harry's invisibility cloak - the fact that it exists, that it's the 
only one of its kind, that is is a Hallow, and that it was in 
Dumbledore's possession because he was investigating it as a Hallow.  
(To quote SS:  Your father left this in possession before he died.  It 
is time it was returned to you.  Use it well.")  That completely fits 
in with JKR hinting on her website that it is significant that DD had 
the cloak.  She knew what it was even then.

Grindelwald - DD's legendary duel with Grindelwald is mentioned in the 
VERY FIRST BOOK, clearly she knew all along that he was signifant.  I 
have NO trouble believing she had planned the Elder Wand back then.

There are many more examples but I can't think of them all right now...

I don't know why there is such a strong backlash against the author 
now that the story is finished.  Anyone here who thinks they can do 
better is welcome to go publish their own series of wildly popular 
stories.
