Minerva McGonagall

Minerva McGonagall is like the Virgin
in "The Alchemical Wedding of Christian Rosycross." In
the latter she conducts the weighing of the candidates
to determine their virtuousness. In Harry Potter
McGonagall gives the first years the sorting hat to
see what house they go into.

In the "Alchemical Wedding" the Virgin is called
Alchimia. By the way, the book doesn't tell you that
explicitly. You have to work out a puzzle that is very
similar to the type Jo loves, for example in book 1.

It is obvious from reading "The Alchemical Wedding"
that Alchimia symbolises the force that transfigures
the apprentice alchemist. Now we know why McGonagall
is Transfiguration teacher! It all fits, doesn't it?

If you haven't read "The Alchemical Wedding" could I
suggest you do so now, as the parallels between that
and Harry Potter are absolutely striking! It's on
http://www.harrypotterforseekers.com/articles/wedding1.php. 
You can read the whole thing in under an hour.
The text contains illustrations.

There's not much to add about dear Minerva. I guess
you all know Minerva was the Roman goddess of wisdom.
Just as Alchimia works as a sort of chief assistant to
the old chap on the tower, so Minerva is Deputy
Headmistress to Dumbledore, the old chap in the tower.

I think that at the end of the series she'll help
Harry somehow with his final trials, just as Alchimia
does to Christian Rosycross. In fact she is the one
who chooses him as one of the select to bring back to
life the new king and queen on the eighth floor of the
Tower of Olympus. As I've stated before, the eighth
floor is a secret floor which symbolises the Gate of
Saturn.

Just as Minerva helped Harry against the evil
intentions of Umbridge ('I will assist you to become
an Auror if it is the last thing I do! If I have to
coach you nightly, I will make sure you achieve the
required results!') so perhaps she'll make sure he can
pass through the archway with the veil.

You tell 'em, Minerva!!
