Yep. I've read that there are only five original story lines (or some such number). Some authors don't acknowledge getting ideas from other works simply for legal reasons (witness the attempt to sue JK Rowlings some years ago). All in all, I don't really see a purpose to saying where this idea or that came from. It's kind of cool to find out where an author got an idea, but ultimate it's what the author does with the idea that makes the difference.
