The problem here is that I'm the kind of fan who takes interviews as canon. But really, I don't have a problem with it not being interview!canon, because that's what AUs are for. Besides, nothing says they never had a thing for each other before she met Rolf. I'm more baffled because JKR said a couple of days ago she sort of liked the idea of N/L a bit, so I didn't expect to be Jossed so soon.
