How dare she answer fans. IGNORE THEM DAMNIT!

It would probably be better to say something like "there probably would have been, and I wish that I had explicitly written some in, even though I didn't"

rather than "they were totally there all along, and I definitely knew they were totally there all along. I didn't bother to write them in, but they were definitely there, everyone in Hogwarts was gay."

Look, I'm not gonna say Anthony Goldstein was a shining example of complex and fulfilling representation, but he was in the books. It's not like she only thought about it once someone asked and hastily made up a Jewish-sounding name for a character she hadn't written in the first place.

Sure, I don't disagree with that.

I'm not sure why we assume Rowling should have talked explicitly about the presence of Jewish kids at Hogwarts. Ethnicity aside, I think she was way better off not mentioning anyone's religion at all. It wasn't the story to get into that.

I admit I was a little annoyed when she said there were no Wiccans at Hogwarts. I get she was responding to all the crazy parents accusing the series of Satanism, but c'mon. Rude.

Exactly. It's probably closer to the truth. But Rowling knows the fans asking won't respond well to the truth.
