Incredibly Conscious Of Nebulous Symbols


There are aspects of this thread that I wouldn't touch with a ten 
foot wand, but I do see quite a lot of Christian symbols and parables 
(can't think of a better word this early in the morning) within the 
HP series. I'm sure they're not all coincidences or figments of my 
(our) imaginations.

There are also a lot of historical parallels, inspiration from 
mythology and bits from real literature, so it's not completely clear 
what JKR is up to.
