Eh, Death of the Author is a thing for a reason--we don't have to take authors' thoughts as the end of discussion about a thing. Richard Adams is quoted as saying he didn't put any meaning into Watership Down, and they were just tales for his daughters. Bradbury said that Fahrenheit 451 was mostly about people becoming isolated in society and watching too much TV rather than censorship.
