Why is Harry Potter not a unique creation?

The Plot Problem

Why don't I tell you a little story? Settle before me and broaden your sight to another world. 

Many years ago, as today, evil lurked. Yet it was not content to wallow in the shadows. Originally a man, a creature, more evil than anything ever before beheld in the world rose to terrible power. It became known as 'The Dark Lord'. He possessed many followers, at first ardent admirers, then becoming slaves to his will and every command. The ordinary peoples began to fear him so much that they dared not say his name. He was known as 'He who must not be named' or 'he whom we do not name'.

Light was shunned from the foreground, every naturally good and healthy being either dead or in hiding sentenced to death. An uprising was brought forth by those who still stood a chance to conquer him, and were successful. 'The Dark Lord' was defeated. However, he was unable to die. Why? Having thought of the infinitesimal possibility that he may be vanquished, he had placed and concealed part of his soul in an object. This was not an ordinary object, for his soul was far too special to be held within a tin can. It was an object of meaning, of beauty and of terrible power. Lost as nothing more than a wisp, or a spirit, this evil slept and waited. 

Several decades later, we come upon a race of no seemingly great significance. This type of being is unbeknownst of the terrors of the past ages. In fact, it is quite impartial to the other inhabitants of its world, prefers stay away and live its own life. In particular, we see one individual, who has always stood out, been different, never really belonged. He is an orphan of a relatively young age, containing strange, but hidden qualities within him.

Meanwhile, the Dark Lord, is regaining strength, finding aid in former helpers and once more starting to glow with a dangerous fire. While the object(s) that kept him alive exist(s) he will not be throttled or challenged, however without them, he is perfectly mortal. These objects can't be destroyed very easily. It involves perilous journeys on the run from the Dark forces (both can be destroyed by a special fire). The task of destroying these entities falls upon the young boy and his friends, for this is their destiny and the time has come for it to be fulfilled. 

I challenge anyone reading this to figure out whether I am describing the synopsis of The Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter. The truth is, as you have probably guessed: there is no difference. One of the greatest sins of the Harry Potter franchise was that not only the details had no imagination but even the foundation of the story was taken off a template.

A deciphering of this double synopsis would go as follows:

1) Both Voldemort and Sauron were known as 'The Dark Lord'

2) Voldemort was known as He Who Must Not Be Named and Sauron (in Gondor) was known as He Whom We Do Not Name (don't believe me? Look it up)

3) Just as Voldemort's Horcruxes couldn't be ordinary like Portkeys, so Sauron's ring was not ordinary (by the way both of those had the power to corrupt, e.g. Dumbledore's hand with Gaunt's ring and Gollum with The One Ring)

4) The seemingly insignificant race is the Hobbits who have no knowledge, pretty much of their outside world. Frodo comes from that world. Harry, while he was not a Muggle himself was raised by them.

You see now, it's positively tragic. Now, one can argue that the pieshell is the same but the contents is different. Alas, that is not so. Read on to find out just how traitorous Harry Potter really is.
