Personally I disagree with you, simply because I think you're making 
a generalisation. Star Wars (which I'm not a big fan of) is based on 
lots of 'mythologies' (the long lost father and twin sister, etc) 
that are traditional... the morals and themes of Star Wars aren't 
unique (although the space setting is). JKR is drawing on the same 
themes and morals of Star Wars, so naturally there are going to be 
parallels. JKR has said (well I'm pretty sure she's said :) at times 
that HP isn't based on Star Wars and I believe her... she's just 
using the same traditional plot lines... not that I'm not calling 
either Star Wars or HP cliche or done before :)
