Wow, this is the silliest, most over-the-top thing I’ve ever read. Putting author’s name on my auto-ignore mental list.
Good grief. Look at the list of articles about HP that this guy has written. Does he write about anything else?
Looks like he’s even more obsessed with Rowling’s stories than even the most immersed fans.
"It is revealed that Dumbledore had asked Snape to kill him - mercy killing - and their dialogue about it sounds uncannily like justification for euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide."
Actually, Dumbledore wanted Snape to kill him in order to save the "soul" of one of Harry's classmates, Draco. Dumbledore stating that he was young and his "soul" was not yet lost. Snape agrees to do this.
Also, the death is not about euthanasia; but, about Dumbledore's belief that death is not the end, but a new beginning. Which seems to me to be a "Christian" point of view.
Also, I was a bit surprised, when Harry takes what is left of Mad-Eye Moody (his "magical" eye), which has been stuck in the evil Dolores Umbridge's door, and buries it under a tree. After burying the eye (all that is left of Moody), Harry carves a cross on the tree, right above the burial site. Again, I think, indicating a reverence for the dead, and with Christian overtones.
