To me, it's a basic failure to understand how audience works. You can write whatever you want, but you can't control how other people feel about what you've written. She's not the first author to be surprised that a character takes on a life of their own in readers' minds, but honestly, it's not that rare a phenomenon.

It's not a rare phenomena but an annoying one. The usual reader will only read the book and will not be interested in anything the author has to say. There will be no interest to read interviews or twitter or anything else. The book stands there on its own and if it doesn't get the intended message across the author has failed.

She's not surprised. She welcome fan interpretation. It's some of the fans (those who complain that she's still around) who are "surprised."

Then you'll have to argue with the nonny who said: "...like back in the days when she expressed surprise that some people liked Draco as a character..."

She was surprised because it wasn't what she intended. She wasn't, as far as I remember, telling her fans to stop liking him -- which is the difference.
