Actually, I think what Ms. Rowling said was that the idea of Professor Snape in love was awful, not the idea of someone else being in love with him. And really, it is kind of an awful thought given the character, just try to imagine this sarcastic and unpleasant grump being all doe-eyed over someone... without a serious personality change, it just comes out disturbing and stalkerish, not a pretty picture.
As for Mary-Sues, this is the first I have heard of them, so I have no real comment except that I like to see original characters in fanfic. The only important thing to me is that they be well-written, realistic characters.
