1) the worldbuilding. JK wrote a world that people still want to wallow and play in, whereas Meyer's series is based in the Real World (and we won't talk about how much of the Pac NW she got wrong.)
I actually see both as one-point-of-differentiation from the Real World types of settings: in Potter, it's the real world except there's wizards. In Twilight, it's the real world except there's vampires. And both build the hidden social structures and institutions that one point of differentiation implies.
Curious -- why specifically do you think a romantic conflict will (or should, if you think it should) get the booting more than a standard quest-type one?
