Just a short addendum to my post 121055:
In message No. 121020 Julie wrote:
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.
Hans:
In post 121055 I quoted Jo from memory. I have now found the actual quote.
Here it is: (actually it's an indirect quote, for the LOONS)
"Rowling [] said she couldn't answer the questions about the book's
religious content until the conclusion of book seven."
I found the quote on:

I found this reference on Madam Scoop, a wonderful site for finding
references easily!
