Oh gosh, I forgot all about it!  I was going to get it from the library by now.  But there is one thing I heard about it that may relate to the HP series --

Anyway, lots of us may have heard about a Sikh character in "Casual Vacancy" because of some protests about derogatory remarks made to her by one of the unsavory characters in the book.  During that time I read somewhere that Sikhism served as a basis, or touchpoint, for the morality in this book, rather than Christianity.  Is that true? Because if it is, I think that would lend support to the view that HP was more about good and evil in general, and not specifically meant to be a Christian allegory.

who began the books a Christian and ended them not one, but never thought they were allegory
