You know that caterpillars turn into soup when they cocoon? Until then they host a set of parasites that eat the soup to create the butterfly. The caterpillar and the butterfly are two independent creatures.
This gave me a good laugh

Cinderella?
It’s not Harry Potter? Damn. Hmmm… is it the book people theorize JKR was inspired by? There was such a thing, was there? Or am i just making shit up?
Iirc, there were several books that she likely took inspiration from, ranging from things like a secret platform at kings cross, I don’t remember the name of that one, a wizard of earthsea is possibly an inspiration for her whole wizard boarding school schtick, though to be honest, I’d be genuinely surprised if JK read a lot of Le Guin and came away with her politics.
But no, it’s neither of those. This one came slightly after HP, but it’s very, very different. Posted the answer in upside down text in another reply, if you want to check, or you can keep guessing lol
Was it Groosham Grange? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groosham_Grange#Similarities_to_Harry_Potter_series
It was not, but that one looks fun!
a secret platform at kings cross
This might have been The Secret of Platform 13, very fun book. She probably got the Dursleys from there too, and maybe Dumbledore and Hagrid. Its Wikipedia page has a section about it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Secret_of_Platform_13
