Probably.  I find it telling that she says 'the canon' instead of our 
usual 'canon'.  I dunno about y'all, but I use it that way all the 
time to refer to the texts I'm working on, usually with an adjective 
in front("Dude, is that idea actually in the theory canon?").

I suspect she reads (or has read) HPfGU.  She reads some of the essay 
sites.  I suspect she rather does not read most of the fanfiction, 
and I'm pretty sure from her comments about Draco et al. that she's 
not reading the adult Draco fansites.
