Interesting indeed....

I won't dispute with the symbology nor the logic. The choice and use of 
each is the prerogative of the one presenting the argument.
But....
This is (one of) your interpretations of HP.
Do you think that this symbology is part of the authors intention from 
the outset or could it be an unconscious, accidental or unintentional 
theme on her part? Or even an inevitability given that it follows a boy
through adolescence to adulthood?
