Interview Part 3

JKR has been on a spree this time: the gum wrappers mean nothing, Grindelwald
IS important, DD's family is important, Heir theories are dead, H/G was always
on, to say nothing of the fact that Ginny is a Seventh Daughter, more on The
Gleam, Snape has been loved, and she still won't say anything about Godric's
Hollow.

Just taking Grindelwald, because I recently reviewed List postings about him,
JKR says the 1945 date is not coincidental; there is a deliberate connection
between Muggle and Wizard wars there. And early List postings also assume this
and connect it with Riddle, particularly a series between Tom Wall and Jodel,
linking Grindelwald with Riddle's leaving school, killing his relatives and
becoming Voldemort. HBP dispenses with one of the theories, that it was
somehow Grindelwald & Co. that got Riddle to Hogwarts, but it doesn't mean
Riddle had no connection to him; it's even possible that Riddle saw how
Grindelwald was defeated and feared Dumbledore as a result as #30539 neatly
encapsulates.

I have to state my surprise that JKR was always going to have Harry/Ginny, it
appeared the secondmost unlikely ship, particularly because Ginny's character
development has seemed so invisible, a development by reference from others.
And how amusing that the Seventh Son theories are all wrong because they
couldn't accept Ginny!

Whose love has Snape denied? oooh....
