Geoff:
No. It's not either/or, it's AND.

We believe the Son of God came 2000 years ago AND we believe that God 
can send his Son into our heart the moment we open our hearts to Him.

Jesus of 2000 years ago was God incarnate who, through his 
resurrection, provided a way for the Holy Spirit to enter our hearts 
at ourr equest.

Harry is /not/ a Saviour figure. He, like us, is on a journey of 
discovery. He has to discover who he is because it was hidden from 
him by the Dursleys. He discovers that he is special in the sense 
that Voldemort lost his power because of him. He discovers that his 
fate and that of Voldemort are interlinked but he is not working to 
overcome the Devil as Jesus did. He is working as a person supported 
by friends and allies finding out how to use any power he has to 
defeat Voldemort, as a human being within the limitations of 
humanity; the analogy is that we, if we are Christians, are working, 
supported by friends, allies and God himself to defeat the hold of 
evil on our lives.
