Ken:

My first thought was that Harry must not have gotten any religious
instruction while he was at the Dursley's if he was unfamiliar with
those quotes and meanings. The first is quite famous, the second less
so but still one that you would have met if you spent much time in a
church or Sunday school.

Lynda:

Yes. I certainly did. Still do, in fact when I go to Sunday School (I'm more
of a midweek Bible Study or study on my own person--five years at a
Christian University with a minor in Bible helps--no I didn't take Hebrew or
Greek). I just changed churches and I think SS may become part of my life at
the new church. Of course it comes up in church, too, so now I'll get back
on topic which leads my to type...I never saw the Dursleys as being a
church-going family. Certainly not after Harry arrived. He would have been
an embarrassment to them, unless they wanted to pray the magic out of him,
which, had they been religious might have been a possibility.
