The only really delicious bit of symbolism I've found in the books is, oddly enough, Cornelius Fudge's middle name. Giving your Minister for Magic a middle name like 'Oswald' is the literary equivalent a big red flashing neon arrow pointing to Sir Oswald Mosley, head of the British Union of Fascists in the years before WWII.
