"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.
