via selenak: So, apparently JKR was doing a Harry Potter reading the other day, and Salman Rushdie, who happened to be there, mentioned his theory on Snape. And she confirmed it. Spoilers, I guess.

I knew it! I knew that Snape's [spoiler], and that Dumbledore's [spoiler]. The fact that it's Salman Rushdie who brought it up adds a nice, surreal quality.

Salman Rushdie? (boggles at the surreality of it all)

Seriously, if Mr. Rushdie hadn't been correct in his opinion, I would consider the whole series as an object lesson in How Not To Foreshadow.

Exactly. And Rowling's got foreshadowing down to a tee. Structure, too. When I re-read the series I was amazed how many seemingly unimportant details from the earlier books would later pop up again to become plot points.

Salman Rushdie as a fanboy... yeah, surreal :oD But hey, why not. The books have substance, on top of being highly entertaining.
