It just seems fairly obvious that if she takes a public position about Draco fans Draco fans are going to absorb input and feedback
Yes of course, I never said Draco fans (or any fan) has no right to show any reactions at all. That's what I said you're entitle to read her words in as negatively as you want ("you" as in universal you, people, anyone), you can take her words and interpret her intentions in the most negative light (ex: she loathes Draco with fiery passion, agenda to destroy Draco fandom) or not negative way (ex: she's doing a surprise twist with the character, prepare fans from expectation so they won't get too disappointed).
You have a good point with Draco being a contoversial one in that aspect. I'm not going to argue who's more controversial since it varies in different part of the fandom, JKR and legions of fans did express pretty much same negative reactions to Snape's popularity/size of fanbase as well.
