  I believe that there is a Christian underpinning of the books if you 
  wish to look for it; I realise that not everyone will want to do that 
  but many folk have pointed out - on this group, in books and in 
  articles - that, in the behaviour of characters such as Dumbledore 
  and Harry himself, many parallels can be drawn with real faith.

  Well, there is certainly a moral underpinning to the books. Morality is not the soul property of Christianity. I think sometimes that's why I get a little impatient with all the need to label the books "alchemical" or "christian".  It seems to me when you get down to the basics the important aspect is that they are mostly about the story that arises from people's good and bad choices ; and how those choices affect the chooser and those around them.
