Maybe Voldemort is the devil and harry is the son of Michael or Gabriel, but what about Dumbledore? Is there a bearded character like that in the Bible? Hmm, maybe he becomes Moses...
The hilarious thing is that while the books are about magic and witchcraft, there is also quite a bit of Christian imagery , especially in the last book. But the same could be said about a lot of other very popular books and movies and has way more to do with understanding literary tropes and story structure than anything to do with Christianity.

If I had to categorize them, I'd say Voldemort is the Satan-figure (like, duh), Harry is Jesus and Dumbledore is a way better, wiser, nicer, less-assholey version of God.
Teenaged X-Files obsession + Bermuda Triangle episode + Self-led school research project = Atheist.
