hey cool
I don't think she helped him directly but i do think that although he already had fans, a lot of his younger fans mite have read it whilst waitin for the next Harry Potter book because I'm always trying to find anything that might be intereting to read whilst waiting
but i know a lot of them like LotR because of the films i like LotR but only because of the films I am finding the books very hard to read, and have currently got to almost halfway through the Hobbit - it has taken me at about a year :unsure:
also if anything really Tolkien has helped JKR, i know lots of people say she stole his material, like the Dementors and the black riders, but i think that she didnt steal them, but she was inspired to a point by them. this is allowed, coz every1 has inspirations, but most of JKRs story is straight from her head
dont kill me for sayin this though coz this is only my opinion
