Potioncat:
I don't think JKR is trying to be anyone's road to Damascus. It's 
pretty obvious that she has drawn on a wide range of readings and 
teachings in her own story. So if the book 7 ends the story with a 
theme that is consistent with Christian teachings, it would be 
because that is her own foundation.

Potioncat:
Yes we were both in the Navy...just not the Royal Navy. He would also 
distance himself if I said "ya'll" or "youse", which I do sometimes 
having lived in South Carolina and New Jersey.
