Has anyone got any ideas about what sort of religion wizards and 
witches may have, if they have one? Are they pagan or wiccan? I'd 
discount Christianity because of the whole witch-burning thing. But 
then Seamus is Irish, now even if his mum is a witch his dad isn't. 
Could his father be Protestant or Catholic? If his mother was muggle-
born was she from a religious background? What about muggle-borns in 
general? Would coming from a Catholic background interfere with being 
a witch or wizard? So many questions, no answers. Any ideas or am I 
over nit-picking?

Sofie, one lapsed Catholic parent, one agnostic/athiest parent = one 
confused child who now has a belief in an almighty something!
