A lot of people know fairy tales and other children's stories only through the Disney versions, and until relatively recently (about the 1990s), Disney films usually changed female characters to make them weaker than they were in the original versions. One that has always annoyed me (though it is not a traditional fairy tale) was Alice in Wonderland. The film includes a scene in which Alice breaks down and cries about being alone in this strange world--something that never happens in the book. And at the end of the film, Alice shrinks back down again and runs from the living cards in terror, while in the book she grows to giant size and simply sweeps them away. It's possible JKR is thinking about Disnified stories instead of the real thing.
