I'm curious. Would there still be a complaint if there was a scene in the
very first chapter of the first book showing the Dursley's taking Harry to
church, and the four of them earnestly praying to Jesus?

Probably, because then some nut would state that sending Harry to
Hogwarts would be to take him away from (the Christian) God and
everything that is good to put him in an environment where evil
(magic) is taught.


Why has no one pointed out that in EVERY one of the "Harry Potter"
books the break in winter is distinctly referred to as "Christmas
break"... and that the students who reamin at Hogwarts all get
"Christmas" presents? This in itself indicates a Christian-influenced
environment.

Logic and reason shall (hopefully) prevail in the end.
