Thank you very much, Dzeytoun. I do appreciate  the information 
about morality plays.

I also think JKR mixes a lot of different genre in the books and she 
blends it quite well for the most part, at the same time I do see a 
lot of cristian themes, but the same time as SSS said these themes a 
re quite similar for many moral systems.
