Well, wizards had to interrmarry with Muggles, and live in the Muggle world 
as the two are both considered "human life", so they probably share holidays 
along with many other things...customs, traditions, languages, and everything 
except basically the magical world.

So sorry to be hitting on such a touchy subject, but: we know that wizards 
celebrate christmas and easter.  Also, we know these holidays are religious 
holidays celebrated by christians.  Does this mean wizards are Christian?  I've 
always wondered if they beleive in a "higher power" or "God" of some 
sort...either one that parallels Christian beleifs or a completely new philosophy.  What 
are the ties in the wizarding world to religion, if any?
