I just think that Harry knows more people who celebrate Christmas. It 
is the major religion in the West, and sometimes Christmas is 
portrayed as A national, happy, peaceful time I guess. Think about 
how children portray it. A lot of them only associate Christmas with 
Santa. I am an Arab American Muslim and get wished a Merry Christmas 
throughout the season and have never thought anything of it. 
Christmas is a great time of the year, and I think it gives a time 
for happiness and peace. I also think that it is pretty difficult to 
determine who is celebrating what unless they either sport a 
religious symbol or come out and say that they celebrate a certain 
holiday. Anyhow, I don't think that political correctness is 
something a young person worries too much about. People just know 
what they see and learn. I do wish that JKR would include a nice Arab 
Muslim person in the series. Every where I turn we are so horribly 
portrayed :((. I know that there is a character named Ali Bashir in 
the HP series, but he had some sort of criminal activity with flying 
carpets if I am not mistaken :((.
