Merlin tends to take the place of God in the wizarding world, I 
think, if you look at all the swearwords for instance.  I have a 
feeling he's the closest they get to a religious figure (maybe 
someone like Buddha or Muhammad is a better example, a revered holy 
leader rather than actually a god).  I suppose that could still mean 
him coming into it, but I don't have the feeling JK is very 
interested in exploring religion/faith in the books (unlike someone 
like Phillip Pullman, say).
