I believe that what she said was that if you understand Christian theology, 
you know where the story is going.  That says nothing about her personal 
beliefs; hey, I'm an an atheist but I do know Christian theology, which is why I'm 
sure we'll be waving bye-bye to Harry in book seven--and I don't mean he'll be 
going on a day trip to satisfy a craving for Mere Delacour's bouillabaisse.
  I find "message" books as ponderous and self-important as self-help books; 
obviously the story to an extent will reflect her value system but message, 
particularly a religious one? Nope.  Don't see it.  I see a thumping good story.
