Hey,

I know JK Rowlings religious references are usually secular references (Christmas, Easter Break, the Fat Friar) but the God Parent one kinda makes me want to speculate as there is generally some sort of religious accompanient to being made a god parent.  If this was true, than Harry Potter's parents could have indeed been practicing some sort of religion (and it would show kind of obviously that religion and magic are not in conflict.)

The only two religions I can think of where people get god parents are Judasim (God parents are involved in the circumcision ceremony if I understand correctly) and Catholicism (where god parents are denoted during the baptismal ceremony).    Are there other faiths that have god parents attached to them?
