If I could revert to my original post about Hagrid representing St. 
Peter, I feel that Hagrid has some of the characteristics of the 
saint, particularly in his tendency to rush in where angels fear to 
tread (What am I doing walking on water!) I don't think for a moment 
that Hagrid would willingly betray Harry, but he could, in his 
essential simplicity, be tricked into it. I do hope not, because his 
despair would be terrible.
I think the parrallel between Snape and St. Paul is a particularly 
accurate one.  Nothing like a reformed sinner!

Sylvia (who did realise that Peter denied Christ, but thought 
betrayed sounded better)
