Harry Potter and the Lion King??

The other day some friends and I were talking about the Lion King and Harry Potter, and we came to the conclusion that they are very similar. You have Scar the lion who has had a hard life both in family and it general, who matches no other than Snape. Scar was in love with Serabe Simbas' mother, but Scar did something just like Snape to scare her away from him. They both have to watch their loves be with an other man, granted Snape cannot see Lily no more, but he has Harry to remind him of what happened. I thought it was interesting to make to connection between the two. But the Harry Potter world is more interesting and complex than the Lion King. Anyone have any thoughts on the similarities?

  1. It's just the idea of watching the one you love with another man. I imagine there are other comparisons that can be made. The Count of Monte Cristo for example.
