Still, these are no more than cursory resemblances. The characters and themes are very dissimilar, and the thrusts of plot go in very different directions. Tracy is not Mina, Harker is in no way like Bond, Draco is not Van Helsing, etc, and the story-telling differs dramatically as Gassy Man says.
I think Barbel is right in that anyone can analyse anything to look like it's been influenced by something else - Dracula and Blofeld are two entirely different characters with virtually no similarities whatsoever.
Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.

In Dracula, when the ship Demeter arrives in England, Stoker mentions the poem Casabianca and, guess what...
Fleming did mentioned Casabianca in Moonraker!
I guess writers are influenced, everywhere.
