Yeah, but just because something uses Christian allegories doesn't make it good for childrens' consumption. Indeed, the closer it is to being "Christian-y", the MORE dangerous it is, because then it sucks you in as being good for moral fibre and then BAM! little Jimmy and Jennifer are playing with Ouija boards and selling their souls to Satan.

I kid, but in all seriousness, I will say that just because something deals with resurrection themes doesn't make it Christian. Indeed, Harry is a poor substitute for Christ in your analogy, given all the avada kedavras he is (IIRC) throwing around by the end of Book 7. *tsk*
