Alla:

Right and I am disagreeing with part of what some people disputing. 
Specifically what I am disagreeing with is that she cannot say that 
her version is official, you know?

I disagree that she is not entitled to talk about the characters as 
much as she wants to. I think she earned that right.

I respect people's desire to have their own version of the characters 
in their head, I definitely do, as I said in some aspects my picture 
is different too.

BUT I think that JKR's version is official and she has a right to say 
it. This is the only part I am disagreeing with and not even sure 
that I am disagreeing with you - some earlier comments on the thread.

Moreover, I even agree that some comments of hers may come as 
possessive, etc. I just do not begrudge her for that, that's all.

I know if I came up with these characters I would have had a hard 
time letting go as well.
