Stouffer Woman?

I was just going over the Infringement examples chart - plainly
PATHETIC! I mean, treating "Boats travel across lake" and "Great Hall"
as infringement!!

On the other hand, it is possible to see how this poor woman's (?)
delusions came about - Larry/Harry and Lilly/Lily Potter; Muggles; boy
with spectacles etc.

Then again, I'm not too clear on copyright laws. For eg. if I were to
write a story set in (say) Trantor, and Trantor was an island in the
Pacific (in my fic, at least) - would I still be violating the law?

OTOH, the similarities are rather close ... coincidence? If I were in
NKS's place, I'm not sure I wouldn't have felt something similar
(though I might have gone about it differently ...)

Before I get flamed, I'm not trying to pass judgement on either one
(that's upto the Judge). Just trying to keep an open mind.
