You need to pick up a copy of the book, "The Hidden Key to Harry 
Potter."  The author, John Granger, writes a rather lengthy book 
where the entire text claims that the HP books are definitely 
Christian in theme, and is quite convincing in his proof that Harry 
is as Christ himself.  Granger also disputes in great detail the 
various other authors that have written that Potter is the work of 
the devil, teaches Wicca beliefs, etc.

It's a good read, even if one does not subscribe entirely to the 
author's conclusions.
