Has anyone seen or read the transcript of the recent interview? 
You can find the video or transcript at the leaky cauldron site.

At one point JKR was recalling how she described her ideal man before she met her current husband.

<< I remember speaking to a very good friend and she said what would you like in a man?  And I said I would need to be with someone intelligent, because I just value it.  I would really like for him to have his own carrer... I really thought these were basic things.  Integrity as very important>>

Potioncat:
Sure sounds like Snape to me.
But then JKR's list continued,


<< and kindness, and a strong sense of who he was... These were things that were all very important>>

Potioncat:
That kindness requirement knocked Snape right out of the running.
Not that there's any reason to think JKR would put that ideal man into her book for any reason---but the only person in HP who fits the description (imo) is Harry. (He may be a tad weak in intelligence, but he has his own sort.)
