   Depends on how and what I have had to drink ;>)   
      
   I believe that Ms. Rowling was providentially inspired. I am less of   
   the belief that she was independently visited by God and more of the   
   belief that she was subconsciously assisted.   
      
   The greater point imo is not the style of providential assistance but   
   that fact that the HP series of books *were* providentially assisted.   
      
   If you are willing to accept this as fact, then HP takes on a   
   completely different meaning and exalted place in the history of   
   (alchemical) literature.
