I guess so but, I think it is possible if not likely since Hermione 
is based on JKR ad she's not Jewish. Hermione is not a Jewish name 
either but a classical one. I'm not sure whether that makes a 
difference though.

Also you mention that Hermione wishes them a Merry Christmas...is 
this a change for the American edition being that most British people 
say Happy Christmas?
