As far as I can tell, without having read either Twilight or Fifty Shades, you have similarities in that there are some similarities in the characters' family backgrounds, that Ana is clumsy (like Bella), that Christian is all hot, and...

...I'm not sure that would be enough to point at them and say that "this clumsy dark-haired stupid American college graduate whose parents are separated/divorced is a copyright-infringing copy of that clumsy dark-haired stupid American high school student whose parents are separated/divorced, and this copper-haired 26-year-old extremely hot sadist billionaire businessman is a copyright-infringing copy of a sparkling hot young vampire who looks 17 and goes to high-school".

I mean, if I wrote an original book with a really smart know-it-all bushy-haired English middle-class-family university student and her snarky black-haired chemistry professor from working-class roots, could JKR sue me on the basis of the characters being too similar to Hermione and Snape?
