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* |
There was 7 AKs used in Deathly Hallows, and they were said by Crabbe, Draco, and Voldemort. Harry at one point talks about how he didn't even want to stun someone attacking him during the broom chase, because that would have caused that person to die just the same as if he did use AK.
As far as allegories go, there are quite a few more, that's just the first and most obvious to spring to mind.
