Psychology, depression, etc

I do feel uncomfortable when we start speculating about J.K. Rowling, the person. OTOH, I also think it's perfectly okay to look hard at the way she presents emotional, as well as moral, issues in her text. And nobody has taken a harder look, with funnier results, than starcrossedgirl! Look here:

What is it with that squeamishness about Rowling?!
That woman isn't some sort of reclusive artist.
She's as much a product as her writing. Her image, sob story and psychological quirks did get used to sell books.
At some point it was obviously wanted and expected to speculate about her and her life. That's opening the door and inviting people in, to take a look around, to stay with the metaphor.

But yes, great story. I liked it very much.
