This is pretty much the reaction I would expect from the established crocks, either try to co-opt it or anathematize it. Fortunately, Potter's world does not yield gracefully to either treatment. It seems to have no room for or interest in a god-figure, and none the worse for that. Witch-smellers looking for Satanic influences have a primitive two-valued logic, and could hardly avoid being alarmed. Unfortunately for them, Potter's world is far more colorful and interesting than anything that they have to sell. Unless, of course, you really relish the idea of eternal damnation, and that pretty much tells you all that you need to know about them.
