- I fear it’s because they were the parents of the Boy who Lived. Yes, in the absence of any apparent religion in this community (Christmas appears to be a tradition more than anything) we have the new Virgin Mary and Joseph(or is it God?). The Jesus comparisons come frequently in this book. Does that make Dudley St John the Baptist?
I think St. John the Baptist would be Hagrid. And Voldemort, of course, is Herod. Since Ron deserts Harry, he would be St. Peter. Zacharias Smith plays the part of Doubting Thomas.
And Neville plays the part of Jesus's smarter, older brother. No wait. Isn't there someone who trod upon the serpent? Or am I thinking of St. Patrick?
