Because it's a fanfic entirely written using the world that Rowling setup in her original series. You can't just publish something that heavily based on already published works.

Didn't know that then, but now I do, and I agree with you.

50 shades of grey started as a twilight fanfic.

50 shades never actually makes reference to twilight. So while Stephanie Meyer could possibly sue it isn't the same thing as directly using the exact characters and locations. Harry's name is right in the title
