I can understand that finding evidence of such themes will make the book more acceptable if you belong to an evangelical sect that disapproves of them. But if you didn't find such evidence, would that have made the books unacceptable?
No the books would not have ever been "unacceptable." I like a good story, and while I didn't care so much for the first two books, I was sold with Prisoner of Azkaban since that's where Harry's "backstory" really starts to come to light, and the overlying arc of the series really begins (at least for me).
