On discovering so many links in JKR's writing I thought I would give 
y'all some research work. . . so far we've seen prophesy, the sun, 
Rosemerta, July 31, a silver hand, and there may be others.  I'm sure 
JKR did some reading on magic before she actually started writing.  
Here's my 2 cents . . .
   Cetlic tradition speaks of a mythical group called the Tuatha De 
Danann that disappears with the comming of the tribes to Britian.  
Could this be the split between the magic and non magic folk.  
Perhaps we should be looking towards celtic mythology and their wheel 
of the year for answers instead of towards the Bible for answers.  
Although, I have to say that I've found numerous paralells between 
JKR and Dickens .  .  . does anyone else see those?
