Some of her characters yes. She based Ron Weasly roughly off of a friend of hers in highschool. She got the last name Potter from her neighbors when she was young and she based Hermione Granger off of herself when she was young.

JK Rowling’s ideas are primarily based on her own imagination. While she drew inspiration from real life situations and people for some aspects of her stories, the magical world of Harry Potter and the characters within it are predominantly products of her creative mind.

Given that the world of wizardry and Hogwarts are all fictitious concepts, she created them out of her imagination, but grounded them in her knowledge of real people and places.

She didn't really 'base' it on anything. She thought of it while on a train quite a few years ago. Going to jkrowling.com or mugglenet.com holds a lot of Potter info. Hope this helps
