Reading Judas (Harry Potter spoilers)

I read a book a couple months ago on possible theory on Judas, the infamous treachours character who called Jesus and got him propped up. This theory states that Judas was actually Jesus's most trusted disciple and the other disciples were the ones that were on the wrong path. It talks about dreams that Jesus and Judas have about the eminent Martrydom of Jesus and the role Judas will play. Jesus understood he needed what role he needed to make and asked Judas to do what he did. It was the work of God to have Judas snitch on Jesus, thus getting him killed. Judas being the most-trusted disciple did this knowing that he would be forever smeared with the blood of Jesus on his hands but because his faith in Jesus was so strong, he undertook that burden. The only reason I am bringing this up is because the latest Harry Potter book has a much similar ending. Snape gets Dumbledore Killed but towards the end of the latest gem of a read Snape is actually Dumbledore most trusted confidant. Both Snape and Judas follow their orders because they unfortunately have been burdened with the weight of love. One has a Love for Christianity and the other, a woman.
Its not a secret that bible has been edited throughly by men and pieces that may be unnsavory to the masses have since been cut out, like for example, Judas is theory. The book I am referencing is written by Elaine Pagel and is backed by the Gospel of Judas as well as Gospels of all the other guys, who stories all are very similar and have very important differences. I encourage all to read her book, its very interesting and im not going to spoil all her evidence for this possible pro-Judas theory. I'm only writing this blog because I found a similarity with that book and Rowlings book.
Sorry if I spoiled anything. But you know Snape was good anyways. I am convinced Judas was as well. call me whatever...
