This is more of an inquiry at the moment, but I was wondering if 
there's ever been any discussion of the Celtic myth of the Oak King 
and Holly King in connection to HP?  I tried doing a search on the 
archive, but came up with nothing.

I only ask because I'm intrigued by the similarities between the myth 
(http://www.thefirespiral.com/hollyoak.html) and HP (Harry / 
Voldemort).  The seasonal binity, the duality, the idea of "twins" 
battling one another (the "twin" wands), etc.
