I think the Pottermore material is canon. It's 'published' work of the author.
Which doesn't make it any less fun to find the inconsistencies with the books or interviews. What has there been so far? The McGonagall thing, I take it, was a conflict with an interview, but interviews aren't canon.
I've seen a couple of mentions that Rowling slipped up with her Pottermore excerpts on Merlin; he attended Hogwarts, but it's felt that the wizard pre-dated the Founders. Does anyone recall any canon 'facts' about Merlin which show there's a contradiction?
