People make fun of everything nowadays. Hey, I make fun of most things. I don't think it's a bother that there are skits about HP in the media. In fact, it actually shows how popular HP has become.

Regarding being made fun of for reading HP and being involved with a chat site about it, I've never had to deal with that actually. But I can see where some opinions are coming from. If you're sensitive about it then you'll get bothered easily. If you can talk back, it's better.

And about religious connotaions and views, tis best not to meddle with it. Unless you claim to be a modern day witch or wizard, or are a member of Wica (sp) or any other such cult, I don't think there's anything to worry about.
