One of the striking things about the books, really, is how _angry_
they are. You get the feeling that Rowling works herself up into a
howling rage at the British class system - something she is able to
do despite being a billionaire.
I believe she was all but homeless shortly before HP&tPS sold,
however. That may go a long way to explaining things.
She was a struggling single mother, yes, and living in a bit of a
hovel. And in the attempts to get the first book published she was
rejected by a LOT of editors, many of whom might not be able to find
work anywhere any more. She's certainly not fond of elitism or class
prejudice, I would suspect.
