Who could be totally missing a Christ reference in Harry because 
she's an atheist."


Well, let's see.

Harry's house is Gryffindor.  A gryphon is a cross between a lion 
and an eagle. The lion is king of beasts, the eagle is king of 
birds. So, we have a being who is of two natures united in one 
entity, and king of earth and sky. Christ dies, descends to the 
underworld, and is reborn--which is pretty much what happens to 
Harry, one way or another, in each book. In Christian symbolism, 
Satan, the Devil, the Great Deceiver, is symbolized by a giant 
snake. A Christian symbol of Christ, who is eternally slain and 
eternally overcomes Death, is a Phoenix.  Certainly "Chamber of 
Secrets" follows thispattern.

Those are only the three which come most to mind.
