Guessing game

Antonio Zerbisias notes an impeding conservative rival to Maclean's. Agreed with her that the copy editing is something to behold.

I presume this will be an effort to completely counter the information given in the original. In light of this prominent story in Maclean's, which seems to follow the generally-accepted take on the Harry Potter series (i.e. Harry good, Voldemort bad), what will be the imitator's take on J.K. Rowling's creation?

(a) The whole series is fundamentally evil for preaching witchcraft and independence.
(b) Harry should never have been taken away from his aunt and uncle. Instead the Dursleys should have received a tax credit. Then they could have chosen either to spoil Dudley even more, or to better restrain Harry.
(c) Voldemort is getting a bad rap, and just needs to show his sense of humour on the barbecue circuit in order to deservedly take absolute power.
(d) All of the above.

If you can correctly answer the above question, and avoid misspelling any words, you're one step ahead of the current operating minds.
