Out of curiosity, has JKR ever stated that she is basing her books on
these teachings? I thought I read somewhere that she'd addressed 
the question of whether she based the books on any sort of religious
teaching or wrote deliberate correlations between particular religious
teachings/writings and HP plot/characters (and I recall her answer 
being "No."). But I could easily be wrong.
