Harry Potter as Christ

I do not consider Harry Potter to be a Christ-like character,
I believe that Harry was indeed predestined to defeat one of
the most evil wizards of all time in Great Britain.  I have
often wondered why Dumbledore could not simply used a time
turner when he found out what had happened to Lily and James
Potter.  I realize that if he had done so then the future
could have turned out very badly indeed.  Unlike Christ, Harry
did not do any miracles, unless a person counts magic.  To a
muggle witnessing magic being performed this would seem like
a miracle.  We are not given a great deal of information into
Christ's childhood growing up.  Unlike Harry's which was one
of neglect and often times downright child abuse, Christ's
childhood was more than likely an average one for a Jewish
child growing up in that period of time.  Like Christ, Harry
did attract many friends.  These were not followers like
Christ's were.  Hermione and Ron had a deep and lasting
friendship with Harry.  This developed over many years and
over many trials and hardships.  Lastly, while Christ had a
"mission" to be the savior of all mankind, Harry did save the
wizard world from Voltermort.  He did not conquer the world
from evil, like Christ did.
