This is what you quoted yourself:

"A tiny number of people knew my pseudonym and it has not been pleasant to wonder for days how a woman whom I had never heard of prior to Sunday night could have found out something that many of my oldest friends did not know," she added.

If the author of the tweet was anonymous, then how did Rowling know that it was a woman she never heard of before?
Before the law firm contacted her with the explanation there was no reason for her to assume that the tweet was written by a woman that she had no previous contact with. If there was anything to wonder for days about it would have been whom among the tiny number of people that knew her pseudonym leaked the information.
