HPforgrownups - Christianity and Aeschylus

I have seen the Christian symbols in the HP series from the first book. 
I knew that there was going to be some sort of reserection scene in DH 
somehow. I thought at least it would be a near death experince for 
Harry. And since book 2 I knew that it would be Harry and Ginny, 
because they are representing Adam and Eve.

When George's ear was cut off, I was sure than Harry or someone would 
put it back on. I expected DD or at least Fawlks to come back, but that 
didn't happen... except that Harry talked to him in that 'room' between 
life and death.

Harry made a cross on the tree when he buried the eye, for those who 
say there is no Religion in the series. 

The main thing for me, other than the sacrifice and near death 
experience, was Christmas eve. The Muggles and maybe a Wizard or Witch 
or two were in the church singing and Harry looked up and saw the image 
of the Holy Family... his father, mother and himself as the baby in her 
arms. 

There is such deep symbolism in these books and in so many ways. It 
just speaks to some collective subconscience thing in each of us. Don't 
you just feel it tugging at you when you see the stone for Dobby 'here 
lies Dobby, a free elf". That last part just sort of pulls at something 
within me.. and in many of us.. something in a deep layer of our 
minds...
