Yes. Gaiman seems amazingly down to earth and generous. I suspect a lot of his comments have more to do with not wanting to cause trouble for either of them(lets face it, if he'd wanted to, he probably could have made things bad for her after the first book...he has a lot of clout...even now he probably has a lot more than she does)
If Harry and Tim themselves didn't have so many striking similarities, I'd throw it up to coincidence...you can let them similar themes slide for the reasons Gaiman stated, but the Harry/Tim comparison just can't be ignored or glossed over.
Have you read the BoM ongoing, or just the original series?
