i bet you it's about lily
AILEEN: What shape would Snape's boggart take and what would he see if he looked into the Mirror of Erised and why?
JKR: Well. I'm not sure what his Boggart would be. But it's closely related ... well I suppose I do know, I've never thought about it before, but I suppose, thinking about it, I do know what it would be, and it would be related to what he saw in the Mirror of Erised. So I really don't think I can answer that.

James: Which book did you like writing most?
JKR: Three, Six and Seven have been the best to write, so that's Azkaban, Half-Blood Prince and Deathly Hallows. And of them all, definitely my favorite is Deathly Hallows.

Lee: I recently purchsed nimbus twothousand it has a terrible knack of veering left is their anything I can do (wihout the use of a wand it was broken by a hippogriff) to repair it back to it original straight flying state?
J.K. Rowling: Hm. I would advise a trip to Arkie Alderton's Kwik-Repair Shop. Never attempt to mend a broom at home, the consequences can be disastrous.

Hannah: Why was Snape so badly groomed?
J.K. Rowling: Hmm. Good question. Poor eyesight? Did he look in the mirror and believe he was gorgeous as he was? I think it more likely that he valued other qualities in himself!

Barbara: I was very disappointed to see harry use crucio and seem to enjoy it his failure to perform that kind of curse in the past has been a credit to his character why the change, and did harry later regret having enjoyed deliberately causing pain
J.K. Rowling: Harry is not, and never has been, a saint. Like Snape, he is flawed and mortal. Harry's faults are primarily anger and occasional arrogance. On this occasion, he is very angry and acts accordingly. He is also in an extreme situation, and attempting to defend somebody very good against a violent and murderous opponent.

Sampotterish: Why did Dumbledore want Ron to keep his deluminator?
J.K. Rowling: Because he knew that Ron might need a little more guidance than the other two. Dumbledore understood Ron's importance in the trio. He wasn't the most skilled, or the most intelligent, but he held them together; his humour and his good heart were essential.

Jaclyn: Did Lily ever have feelings back for Snape?
J.K. Rowling: Yes. She might even have grown to love him romantically (she certainly loved him as a friend) if he had not loved Dark Magic so much, and been drawn to such loathesome people and acts.

Superhans: What was Dudley's worst memory?
J.K. Rowling: I think that when Dudley was attacked by the Dementors he saw himself, for the first time, as he really was. This was an extremely painful, but ultimately salutory lesson, and began the transformation in him.

fucksun:
Hermione’s name was almost “Hermione Puckle.”
Gilderoy Lockhart, the insufferably vain professor and celebrity from The Chamber of Secrets, was based on someone Rowling knows in real life.
Hedwig, Harry’s Snowy Owl, isn’t entirely accurate.
Collecting unusual and interesting names and words has been a lifelong habit for Rowling.
If a muggle were to happen across Hogwarts, all they...

nadineaure:
I don’t know why I didn’t think to check if J.K. Rowling had already addressed that question. Apparently, she has:
J.K. Rowling said in an interview that there is some form of graduation ceremony for Seventh Years that includes riding the Hogwarts boats back across the lake as they leave, but that she chose not to include it in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, as “to have a...
