Yes. It has been said that elements of the story were influenced by other works. One possible influence could be the classic tales of good versus evil. However, Harry Potter is a very unique creation in its own right. Rowling built a complex and detailed world that, while having some inspiration from elsewhere, is distinctively her own with its own set of rules, characters, and plotlines.
Yes, it is. J.K. Rowling was inspired by various mythologies and folklore. For example, the idea of wizards and witches has roots in European folklore.

Dexter is indeed based on a novel. The novels that Dexter is based on are known for their dark and unique take on the character of Dexter, a serial killer with a code. Jeff Lindsay's writing in the Dexter novels is quite engaging, and it was this source material that the TV show was adapted from. The novels go into great detail about Dexter's inner thoughts and his rather unusual 'hobby' of killing bad people. For example, in the books, we get a deeper look into how Dexter justifies his actions to himself, which is different from how it was sometimes portrayed in the TV series.
