OK, the full list was: Others like you are Frodo (Lord of The Rings), Young Aurthur (arthurian Legend), Luke Skywalker (Star Wars), Peter/Susan/Edmund/Lucy (Narnia), Richard Mayhew (Neverwhere), Harry Potter (Harry Potter) and Richard Cypher (Wizard's first Rule).
Out of those, I'd say there was nothing unlikely in Arthur, Luke, and Richard (except that at some point they couldn't see it coming themselves). I don't know about Richard Mayhew; the rest... are in various degrees unlikely. But in each case they had it in them to become "the hero", so. I could ignore the "unlikely" part and just go for "the hero" :))
