The origins of Harry Potter conflict

[Randy]

This stuff is just too good to pass up.  Harry Potter and the good 
side is represented by the Phoenix (or Sunbird) or winged disc (ie 
golden snitch) and the Evil god Set is represented by the Serpent.  
Horus and Set did battle.  These myths are based on Solar and Lunar 
eclipses.  The Eye of Horus looks like the light given off during a 
tolal Solar eclipse.  The eclipse also gives the black spot the 
illusion of having wings (ie winged disc, or snitch) also winged 
spirit bird or Phoenix.

When JKR says that her religious views might give things away.  I 
wonder if she means the illusions to myths she has studied.  This 
Horus versus Set myth of ancient Eqypt has so many of the symbols 
from the Harry Potter books.  The similar HP symbols include: the 
idea of split souls, the winged disc, the phoenix, the serpent, the 
retrieval of the parts of the dismembered pieces of a god to bring 
him back to life (HorusCrux).  There are many more that I cannot 
remember at this moment.  I wonder what the European versions of 
these myths look like.

Sorry if you guys already knew all this stuff.  I don't read all the 
other HP web sites and I missed a bunch of your posts in the past.
