If you're interested, I found comparisons to the Weasleys' names and Arturian legend in posts #46338, 46367, and 46508, but only Arthur, Ron, and Ginny.  Post #45247 has a link to a great website comparing Harry to Arthur.  I couldn't find any posts mentioning St. George and the dragon.  But while we're on the topic, there was a knight in Arthurian legend called Pheredin (Fred?).  He was a friend of his fellow knight, Tristan, and fell in love with Tristan's lover, Isolde.  Tristan found out and was enraged.  Isolde wrote Pheredin a letter saying she didn't want to see him again because of Tristan, and Pheredin died of a broken heart.
