Some fans are peeved with Rowling's continuous streams of interviews and such with her relentless attempts to explain what happened in the book and expand on her universe. She's been on record a couple of times saying "Harry's MINE" and "it's my world, my version of what came after is the official version", stuff like that (not those exact words). Some people hate those restrictions; me, I particularly hate her attempts to retroactively fix her flawed book or insert meanings that just aren't there. Grrrmph. Aren't you sad you missed all that? :-)
I never thought that the 'deluded' sentence was a slam at the H/Hr folk, and I'm one of them! Mind you, at that point in the book I think I was nodding my head in agreement with Voldemort and hoping he'd kill Harry for good this time. Well, okay, I wasn't that far gone, but was pretty apathetic at that stage.
That, to me, is beside the point.
To me a lot of the fun is in the details ... and by NOT concentrating on the minutiae you're letting Rowling get away with her flawed plot. Oh well. Enough nitpicking. I'll let you get back to Thomas the Tank Engine!
