Oh, it can definitely work either way. If your personal "good" character is Snape then his faults are the ones that are explained away while Harry's rudeness is class shows that he's in the wrong. And either way you wind up just ignoring big chunks of the character. It's just about being a defense lawyer, proving that a character was in the right whatever they did.
