  "Obvious" to me, mainly, and that's probably a poor choice of 
words. I guess I see elements of the Camelot legend in all the 
characters, but not an exact blueprint. Arthur Weasley fits because 
of his name; Harry because he's the lead of the series who makes the 
sacrifices, etc.

The first Arthurian parallel that struck me about Harry was the boy of power, 
raised in an obscurity to which he was taken by a wise wizard, utterly 
ignorant of his heritage.
