Thanks! And no worries about butting in (at least from my end).
So that's where I got the "loved" (not beloved) part of my recollection, but it wasn't said by JKR, it was said by the interviewer. Interesting. Again, this asks the question, who is loved and who isn't? I know several people who hated Tonks, completely and absolutely, but most of the people I know at least liked Remus.
As you can tell, I have a feeling those two were Remus and Tonks, but that's just a guess. And as to a reprieve, I'm guessing Hagrid. What do you think?
And I'm so glad she didn't kill Harry off. I don't think she could have, not in the context of a Good versus Evil story, set in a children's book. I don't think she gives much thought about us adult fans (in terms of mourning the characters, going through the grieving process, etc), but I bet she does care about the kids, and for them to see Harry die and not survive would have been too much.
