I also saw the Nazi symbolism but, if anything, I read muggles and muggleborn as her "Jews".  
They can not attend school, they are put in prison (camps) and they have to sign up 
on lists so that the Slitherins can keep track of them. While I, like you, truly believe JKR 
did not plan to show this in her books, it's inexcapable.  Especially once you saw that statue
in the MOM where the bodies of muggles were the throne proud Wizards sat upon... I can't imagine
how she, or at least her editor, didn't catch it while reading the story after it was done.  I really
wish one of them had as it made me very uncomfortable and I wouldn't want my young grandson 
to read it until he was much older.
