My first thought was Jesus (out of interest, what exactly is the objection to that suggestion?). By extension, I suppose god, or yahoo-wahoo or whatever you want to call him. After that, I thought Romeo or Juliet or Hamlet or some such. Then maybe the Cat in the Hat. Or Helen of Troy even.

I hadn't thought of Harry Potter or King Arthur, but I can see the arguments.

Is it particularly ignorant of me to say that there is one character mentioned in this thread that I had never heard of? I'm guessing it's a character from some chick-lit doorstop, which I don't really do.
