Yes, the connections are pretty obvious. Especially the "for the Greater Good" carved over the entrance of a prison part.

But resistance is about the only thing DH is about! All the "good" characters are part of the resistance. I would have liked to see more of the kind of people that are mentioned by Mr Weasley, who are not really in league with Voldemort, but are to scared to say so once he has become powerful. While that is not the way people
should react in such a situation it is a realistic and understandable reaction. That's why I like ambivalent characters like Slughorn and Xeno Lovegood. Not everybody is brave.
I am not brave. And while I am absolutely sure that I would never believe in an ideology like the Nazi's, I also can't see myself risking my life fighting such a regime.
Maybe one of the lessons Jo is trying to teach is that we should never let things get that far in the first place. Had the wizards listened to Harry and Dumbledore and prevented the Death Eaters from gaining power no war would have been neccessary.
