This goes over law suits going both ways.
I was doing a search for wizard school books on Amazon because of this thread. From what I could find, while there are some YA wizard school books that seem to be oriented towards the Harry Potter crowd, most of what I saw seemed to be more urban fantasy romance books oriented towards the Twilight crowd, i.e. teenage girls and those remembering being teenage girls.

Of course, the key to all those lawsuits is that it takes money to hire a lawyer and all. Rowlings seems to have a reasonable approach to it, as do most authors. The problem is that handful of authors, a la Harlan Ellison, who aren't so reasonable.
