Geoff:
I didn't intend to imply that. Perhaps I didn't make myself clear. What 
I said was I thought that Hans'  phrases "he will come back just like Jesus, 
Orpheus, Horus and the other liberators" and "that's the story of Jesus. But 
it's also the story of Harry Potter" juxtaposed Christianity with a swathe of 
material which is fictional and thus, by implication, suggested that the life 
of Jesus was in the same category.

Since I have often written that I see Harry as an "everyman" on a journey, which 
is how Christian belief begins anyway, I can draw parallels with faith knowing 
that JKR is a Christian and therefore will echo her faith in her writing either 
overtly or covertly.
