Superman? Frodo? Aslan?Paul Atreides? Optimus Prime?

I'm just saying, half-jokingly, that it's not exactly unheard of in
popular fiction to imbue a character with those qualities, whether
they are done in direct homage to Christ (Aslan) or as part of a story
written by someone who has never been Christian.

But maybe some of the less-tolerant Christians (obviously not
including any who post here) will be able to accept the ending of the
series as at least partial proof that JKR is a Christian as she's
always claimed and that the nod that Harry exchanges with Draco and
the name he gives his child in the epilogue illustrates his capacity
for forgivenesss, even with someone who is likely doesn't deserve it.
