It can be very vexing to me as I'm a dinosaur who comes to HP fanfic hoping to recognise the setting from the books. And I'd rather see writers putting the effort into getting the wizarding world to resemble canon than getting ulcers over which cricket team it's likely Ron would support. (Being a pureblood obsessed with Quidditch, I doubt he'd know anything about Cricket, fwiw.)
I'd like to think that most fandomers would have the wherewithal to make the analogies! I really would.

Re: We agree, I rather think, that the influence exists, as you say.
