Great topic,  I could go on for days on this one, but Doddie sums it 
up nicely (grammatical errors and all).  The wise author will leave 
religious and spiritual teaching to the theologists.  There are 
definite themes that correlate to many different religions.  If 
anything, JKR is showing us that humankind's intent for the greater 
good has the potential of heading down the wrong path, but with honest 
intentions and perseverance of the truth, the light , and love, all 
hope is not lost.

Most importantly it is our actions as a result of what's in our heart 
that determines our destiny.  And I can't think of any religion that 
doesn't follow this doctrine.

As a side note, I did find it chapter 34 & 35 almost paralleled to the 
Christian belief of resurrection (
.almost to the point of comparing 
HP with Jesus Christ
.)

Anyway, GOD will take any heart that is of pure and honest intentions 
to use in order to spread his love and grace for all HIS children.  
That is HIS undeniable power.
