Hasn't JKR said that Lockhart is based on her SOB ex-hubby?  If it
comes from her, then I think that settles the debate.

But in regards to religious symbolism, I have to say that if in the
end the whole HP series proves to be (as I sometimes feel Narnia is)
fundamentally an "infomercial" for a particular religious doctrine,
I'm going to be very, very disappointed.

         still are entirely coincidental.)
