I was watching Harry Potter the other day and I noticed some symbolism.
Malphoy: "mudblood!
Mudblood means dirty blood. It's a name wizards call people that have muggles (non magical people) in their family. This is like saying someone has dirty blood meaning they are a mix of different races. Notice it was said by Malphoy who is Ayrian. This could be symbolizing WWII (The Holocaust.) There were a few other scenes as well although I don't recall. I'm going to study this further. Have any on you seen this?

Or maybe it's just a coincidence.

Uhh... it's more or less said outright, especially in the later books. hell, the Voldemort supporters are dressed in the fashion of the Klan in the movies.

Actual syumbolism in it would be things like teenage exploration of identity etc.

That actually sort of makes sense.

If each mistake being made is a new one, then progress is being made.

uhhh.... I think your reading between the lines and making up symbolical ideas that aren't there.
if (Malfoy = Holocaust) {
wtf = "300%"
}
:This is why i never search for a hidden meaning in a book.
