Please, no one think this is making excuses for her at all, because she's utter trash, but I wonder if it would require some pretty intense mental disorder to be this focused on other people's lives, and wanting so badly to make them suffer.

    I don't have evidence either way for JKR, but at least with Republicans who spew the same kind of vitriol it usually seems to be projection. They were treated poorly when they showed any signs of not conforming as a child so they pass it on.

    Yeah, and I don't know what I'm talking about really, but I thought sadism was normally on a smaller scale. This seems like a different thing than your average sadist. "I need thousands of people to be miserable!" Is different than "somehow I get off on seeing a person suffering"
