I saw that too on her website. She also said
that another question we should be asking is
why Dumbledore didn't kill Voldie in the scene
at the Ministry. 

But the answer to both is very obvious.  If 
Voldie had died during his first encounter with
Harry or if Dumbledore had killed him, we would
be without a major story plot, wouldn't we?
Without Voldie, the Potter books would be just a
magical version of a "coming of age" story.  JK
had to make it so that Voldie didn't die and
that Dumbledore didn't kill him.  I believe that
will be Harry's job in the last book.
