Finwitch:

I'd say that Frodo's anger when Samwise offered to bear the ring for 
him was a symptom of Frodo being under the ring's influence...

But of servant-leader... oh, indeed. I think one *obvious* example is 
a comedic couple, Jeeves and Wooster, invented by P. G. Wodehouse.

It made it to TV-series, and is set in London.

Jeeves is the servant, doing all the housework (Wooster is helpless 
in kitchen - can't even make tea when Jeeves has a day off, even when 
he has a cooking book to help) - and each time the series begins with 
some minor disagreement (about something new Wooster has gained that 
Jeeves doesn't like) - in the end, the thing is gone, so Jeeves 
wins... ALL the time.
