 i just think it's amusing that the most mainstream

almost."

Tonks:
To expand on what Geoff said. I will try to clarify the concept of 
the trinity.  A Christian sees God as one in essence with 3 
aspects.  Creator, Redeemer, and Sustainer.  Each of these actions 
is given a different name, but they are one entity.  You might think 
of it as similar to a person having a mind, body, and spirit.  Mind 
would be the Father/(Mother to some feminist now days) Body is Jesus 
(Mind coming into physical existence in the world of matter), and 
Spirit as the Holy Spirit.

To try to bring this back to the topic so the house elves don't push 
me off the cliff that I see Geoff hanging onto by a thread
 (leans 
close to the edge and tosses a rope to Geoff.)

My view of the series is a little bit of what Hans sees, but as I 
have said, from a Christian POV.  So while I think that Alchemy has 
a place in the series I see it in a different way than Hans.
I encourage others to read some of the work of John Granger. I don't 
agree with him completely either, but I think that we are all seeing 
the same clues from slightly different angles. And as I have said 
elsewhere, I think that Harry will have a symbolic death and a 
symbolic resurrection.
