Mac now: so Harry was christened ... hmmmmmmmm (I do hope JC isn't supposed to be behind 'that' door at the MoM or else anything to do with the veil).

Personally I hope there's NOT gonna be a religious/Christian theme/explanation of everything, because I'm agnostic/atheist myself, and that would ruin the whole experience of the books for me. Besides, it would feel really strange if JKR threw in some Christian values somewhere because a lot of the books are built upon the difference of the Wizard World vs Muggle World. There are lots of people who celebrate Christmas of other reasons than it being a big Christian holiday. Maybe that's the case here too?

--Karyn...

I cannot speak for JKR, true many do celebrate "Xmas" for other than christian beliefs.  However, has it occured to anyone that the whole basis of HP Books is in that "prophecy" and the fact that "the boy who lived", lived because of "Sacrificial Love" the same "Sacrificial Love" that Jesus gave us on the cross!  So much for hoping that JKR isn't going to "throw in some Christian Values"!
