What about the possibility the Harry represents Galahad?  in some of 
the legends Galahad was the one who saw the whilte hart (harry's 
patronus?)  The hart is supposed to signify the mystical and divine 
presence of Christ.  Galahad was one of only 3 Grail knights - sould 
that be of significance? 

Godric Gryffindor's sword reminds me greatly of Excaliber, as well, 
though that dound have been Arthur's (Dumbledore's?) sword.
