I saw another interview (forget the link) which says the character she reprieved from her original draft of the finale was Arthur Weasley who was supposed to die in Book Five.
I'm glad she did.
Had Mr. Weasley died, the Weasley household would've been much grimmer, losing that necessary lighter aspect in the darker books. Also, had it been from the snake attack, it would've increased Harry's guilt...
