I think her reasons might be interesting to examine, since I think that while owning your work is important, so is being able to be critical in retrospect and ask yourself what you could do better - I think that's just part of the process of being a writer, and I would be really curious to know what her reasons are and why she didn't think the choice she made was literary, and also what she thought could have happened instead.
I guess I'd be sort of interested in her answer, but I feel like 'that was the pairing I was most excited about and spoke to something inside me' is a pretty great reason to write a couple together, and I think that if Harry and Hermione had gotten together, she would have needed to kill off Ron (which she considered doing, as well).
EDIT: OH GOD THAT'S WHAT THE ADAM/EVE ADAM/LILITH POST WAS ABOUT EARLIER I LITERALLY THOUGHT IT WAS ABOUT LILITH BEING AWESOME. I AM SO FUCKING DISAPPOINTED IN FANDOM RIGHT NOW.
*lightbulb moment* I didn't realize that either. Fuck, I'm going to go delete my reblogging of that post now.
