Particularly amusing on this stupid site are the "S-shaped sign of 
Satan on Harrys forehead" and this charming excerpt, which quotes JKR:

"The author also uses occult terms in her thinking. Look at this new 
age phrase. "I have a very visual imagination. I see it, then I try 
to describe what is in my mind's eye," This minds eye concept is the 
heart of the new age movement." 

Seriously, though, it is really disturbing that these sort of 
fascists exist.  Yes, they are fascists, IMHO.  They not only believe 
that their way of life is right and everyone elses is wrong, but they 
want to dictate to the rest of us how to live.  They have a lot in 
common with Voldemort, in fact.
