The problem I have is that JKR gives all these interviews and questions are asked to "fill in the fanon gaps and spell everything out" and it just turns out to be a huge mess. Yes, learning Dumbles leads the parade is just a pain, but still very fabulous.

I've always pictured Pansy blonde because Draco is the child of perfect pureblood breeding and Lucius and Narcissa are both blond so it seems really logical that he would either be drawn to or told that he should get together with someone of the same hair color persuasion.

Now, all this interview ish also doesn't get digested properly and people forget how to read and are unable of applying what she says to what canon says.

For example, over in sorting someone mentioned on an application that children conceived under Love Potions make them incapable of love. BUZZZZ! Time out, that is never said in the books.

I questioned where they heard that from and they in turn quoted an interview where JKR says that the potion is symbolic. No matter what way you shake it Riddle grew up without a nurturing influence so why would he ever be able to understand/comprehend an emotion as complex and simple as love w/o that exposure? His mom never really knew love either, he was pretty much SOL from the start. But that can all be derived from canon, you don't need her clarification in an interview to get that. So all this extra stuff does nothing but muddy the waters.

Except for the question I asked her about what happens to the dark marks after Volde's defeat in the live chat after DH dropped. That is not fluff xD
