Hogwarts Theology

It happened again. I ate cheese for lunch and then went to Chik-Fil-A at dinner time, so not sure what exactly triggered the dream I had last night.

Anyway...here it is, in all its nerdy and confusing glory:

My family and I were at HOGWARTS. Yes. Yes, we were. All of us. Except, I think, my dad.

So there we were, and we were up a few stories and it was dark (might have been near the third floor corridor that was so dangerous the first year), and we were at a little cafe nook, which sat on one side of the square gallery (there were stairs beneath and stairs above). I was showing my siblings (who all loved the books) around, and talking to my mom (who was the bartender. It was weird).

I explained to my mom that Harry's two different lives - the one with the Dursleys and the one at Hogwarts - were like post-christian materialism (Dursleys) and the spiritual life (Hogwarts) - as in, Harry is living in a materialistic world, and then experiences the supernatural, and starts living in that world while still being a part of the 'real' world. It made more sense in my head (I think I did read somewhere that someone made the connection between "Diagon Alley" and "diagonally" and how the Dursleys typified the materialistic, post-Christian worldview of many Europeans, but I've never heard the 'spiritual life' argument for Harry's life in the wizarding world).

So my mom kept cleaning glasses, and finally said, "Well, I guess I should read them with you...oh yeah, you wanted me to listen to the audio books." She did not sound enthused, and I remembered that she was NOT an audio learner (which she isn't). So I said, "Hey, I'll read them to you while we do some crafts together! We can make bracelets and crochet and knit and sew..."

At that point, Professor Snape was tramping down the corridor, his cape flapping behind him. Then I knew that we were in the Half-Blood Prince and I knew what was coming up, and I started crying. I mean, seriously bawling.

And then somehow potions became involved (tried to brew 2 yesterday on Pottermore and only succeeded with one, but didn't lose any house points - gained 3 for the correctly brewed one!), and I don't remember any more.
