ME (Susan) here:  I don't get this remark.  These are HER books; she can 
write them any way she chooses!  And the populace can decide whether 
to read them or not. She "owes" no one anything.

ME (Susan) here:  This next comment isn't necessarily directed at you, but I 
am getting a little tired of the slams on Christians.  "Christians" 
are a huge group, and not an especially homogenous one.  I am one, 
but I posted earlier about how I believe JKR's books can "work" 
within all kinds of frameworks--Christian, Good vs. Evil, no god or 
dogma, etc.  I *won't* be upset if we get to the end and she says 
nothing overt about Christianity.  In fact, I think that's part of 
the beauty of her works--that they can be happily interpreted through 
so many different worldviews.
