	Certainly. Now, I think we're pretty safe with most of the Greek  
stuff simply because our culture is so distant from the ideas of  
polytheism, for the most part. But, I do agree.

	The thing is, I think Potter is an extension from that. I wouldn't  
group that series with the classics, but I think the same basic  
principle applies. I suspect the majority of readers who are  
Christian are secure enough to read it and not have any adverse  
desires -- it is solely a fun, imaginary world. But, what is right  
for many is not right for all. And especially with children, it  
should be presented only when it is known to be something the child  
can understand as make believe.
