Similarly, it's easy to rule out Jesus figure. Jesus, a god made everyman, who wept at his friend's death and sweated over his impending crucifixion imploring, pleading or praying that he might get a pass and live. Harry, who witnessed deaths of his peer, his godfather, and his mentor, did not weep. Harry who also dreaded his death, did not question it. He accepted 'Dumbledor's betrayal'

I don't want to get into biblical hermeneutics here, but some might question your interpretation of Jesus "imploring, pleading or praying that he might get a pass and live." Even the gospels are inconsistent about Jesus' behavior during his final moments. For example, Matthew says that Jesus' final words were "My God, my God, why has Thou forssaken me," while John says Jesus' last words were "It is finished." Although Jesus' state of mind before and during cruxifiction is debatable, what He and Harry have in common is that they know they must sacrifice themselves for the good of the world and they allow themselves to be killed.
