Although I don't think myself that HP is any kind of a "Christian 
story", I can't agree with your reasoning. A story doesn't have to 
be ABOUT Christians to be considered "Christian". Take the Holy 
Bible for instance: true, the Gospels tell us story about Christ, 
but not necessarily about Christians. And the rest of it concerns 
Jews and their affairs.
