I don't think there's anything wrong with the reader interpreting things. I do think it's important to maintain a distinction between what really is in the text, and what isn't. And I think that a lot of the ideas that fans come up with to justify incongruous features of the text - as interesting as they are, and as much as they can be influential - simply aren't in the text; they're creative inventions, or creative misinterpretations. Which isn't a bad thing, again, it just is what it is.

Well, yes, but how do you KNOW which is which? Do you have a special link to JKR's brain? Do you have some kind of special proof that your interpretation is somehow more accurate than anyone else's?

If not, I don't really get what's so "important" about "maintaining distinctions". It's not a sacrosanct political document upon which vital legislation depends on the minute details of its interpretation.

If people's interpretations are ridiculous, people will point and laugh. If their interpretations are good, people will be pleased and it will enhance their enjoyment of the book. And if it's not precisely what JKR was thinking, how is that relevant or important or game-changing in any way? Either way, it's just a nice little fantasy book.
