I am not a big fan of OS Cards at all. I think Rowling has every right to "fight" for what she believes is a legitimate claim. And Card's "ego" is every bit as big as Rowlings. As for originality how many works are the results of the same set of character circumstance's ?
Most of the major fantasy writers of the last 40 or 50 years can set claim to the same set up as both Card and Rowlings characters. Of course this is all IMHO...
