comment about Hitler's dark hair and facial hair, if anyone has any further
comparisons of the Death Eaters and the Third Riech.  Obviously, the racism
is stepped up a notch in OoP with even Fudge in on the action, but was
curious if anyone else had any notions on how JK is weaving this metaphor in
her book.<<<<


I have always thought that JKR was making references to WWII, in that from 
SS/PS she had on Dumbledore's Chocolate Frog card about Dumbledore defeating 
Grindelwald in 1945. She repeats this information in the first book and has used 
most of the card's information in the books. IE the uses of Dragon blood and 
the Socerer's stone/Philosopher's stone, and liking music.
