Harry as Frodo or not?

I used to believe that Harry does have similarities with Frodo. I 
never thought he was being a carbon copy of Frodo, or anything like 
this, but did have similarities, yes.

And of course it was discussed here many times, but I was talking to 
somebody offline about HP and LOTR recently and this person made a 
remark that he does not think that Harry has many similarities with 
Frodo at all. Except that they both go on the quest of course.

This person thinks that Harry and Sam are much better match, 
comparison wise. Neither Harry nor Sam are accepting their destiny 
just because they decide to do so. They do it for specific people. 
Sam goes initially to protect his friend, and Harry goes to avenge 
his parents. Frodo is at least asked to agree, no? Nobody asked Harry.

And of course the main similarity to me is that neither Harry nor Sam 
fail AND both of them get the ending of the happy family with kids 
and all that. I mean of course Frodo's kindness makes it that in his 
falling he wins, etc, but Sam IMO literally never fails, does not 
succumb to ring, etc.

Any thoughts?
