familiar with Christian theology knows what's going to happen to Harry.

Hmmmm....I would be interested to read that interview as well.  Does this imply that Harry is a Christ figure, who will sacrifice himself and die to save all wizard and muggle-kind, but then rises again?  I think I could live with that, if he does "have" to die.    Does this mean a betrayal is in the future?  Who would his Judas be?  Does this mean Fudge will order his demise because of political pressure from Lucias Malfoy or the like, and then wash his hands of the whole thing, like Pilate?  I never thought of the HP series in these terms before because JKR hasn't had blatant Christian symbolism (ala CS Lewis "Narnia" series) in the series.  Very interesting.....
