bigotry, and I think it's one of the reasons that some people don't

:headdesk: :headdesk: Ow. Anyways, that just stunned me. I can't
belive she really implied that anyone who doesn't like the messages of
the books is bigoted & intolerant, or threatened by her controversial
anti-Nazi stance. >>

Until I read your post, it never occurred to me that anyone could have
understood that quote other than the way it had sounded to me. Now I
understand your interpretation. 

Mine is that 'people [who] don't like the books' means 'people who
agitate to ban or burn the books', not just people who didn't happen
to enjoy reading them, and that 'some' means 'some of'. 

Thus 'one of the reasons' of 'some of the people who agitate to ban or
burn the books' is that they don't like the anti-bigotry moral sermon. 

I'm inclined to think that it's only a small fraction of those people
whose objection is that there is interracial dating at Hogwarts or
that the mockery of Sirius's family's genealogy represents mockery of
their own boasted genealogy. But a fair number ought to have noticed
that they were being caricatured as the Dursleys.
