"I am not normally one to say "I told you so"... but after all the
flack I took here for saying that there was Christian symbolism all
though these books.. well there is." 


Mari:

I was one hundred percent with you regarding this aspect of the
series, even before DH. I too was amazed at the backlash from many
readers of the series in all walks of life who didn't see it as a
viable argument. Whether you personally believe it or not, it's there,
and has been from the beginning. I take my hat off to JKR for the way
she has handled it over the series as a whole. I love the fact that
you don't need to pay attention to this symbolism unless you want to.
Because I am from a Christian background, this symbolism was obvious
to me from the beginning, but it will not be obvious to everyone. 

I still remember the long post you sent about this subject, more than
a year ago, which impressed me heaps. Isn't it a nice feeling to be
proved right ;-)
