>m responded:
>if Sirius is a godfather that means Harry was baptized.

No.Limberger responds:
Not necessarily.  This is a presumption based upon a preference.

>m responded:
>Others have mentioned that we have a friar wandering the halls of Hogwarts.

No.Limberger responds:
The ghosts that wander the halls of Hogwarts are not limited to friars.

>m responded:
>there's no indication that Wizards live predominantly in non-Christian
countries.

No.Limberger responds:
I never said that.  What I said is that wizards & witches live throughout
the world,
which includes countries that are predominantly non-Christian as 2/3 of the
world
is not Christian.

>m responded:
>As to whether there would be book burnings if they were as Christian as
people
>suggest, sure they would.

No.Limberger responds:
Some Christian groups in the U.S. have burned Harry Potter books.  This is a

fact, and many Christian groups in the U.S. continue to preach against
reading
any Harry Potter books.

>m responds:
>I'm sure Dudley was baptized just like Harry was, whether or not the
Dursleys
>attend church regularly.

No.Limberger responds:
Again, this is presumption based upon a preferred definition of the term
"godfather",
which I responded to Geoff earlier.
