Also, Orochimaru didn't cause the Nine-Tailed Fox to go on a rampage within the Hidden Leaf Village. It was Obito, who was only associated with Orochimaru because of the Akatsuki. But even then, Orochimaru joining the Akatsuki was AFTER Kurama was sealed in Naruto. As for them both almost being killed by the main bad guy as infants, the same could be same for all stories. In Legend of the Seeker, Richard Cypher, the main hero, was almost killed by Darken Rahl, the main bad guy, because he was meant to kill Darken Rahl. In Harry Potter, Voldemort learned that neither he nor Harry could live while the other survived. That didn't necessarily mean that Harry was going to kill Voldemort. That just meant that he was going to try in the near future. Voldemort just went out of his way to try and have the prophecy lean in his favor. So while their are some things that are loosely similar in these universes, they are also severely different.
