What you said. Especially the bit about when it's a springboard for slagging the people who hold the opposing view. Double what you said for that part.
Me, I love Harry (I am, in fact, a borderline shameless-Harry-pamperer). But I can see where he's not perfect. And I'm not very fond of Molly -- except when I am. And one of the ways/times I'm fond of Molly is when I'm looking at her through Harry's (biased) eyes. And I know why Harry has such a bias and it makes me go all "woobie!" about him. But I can generally see the other POV. (The only one so far I haven't been able to see the other POV about is Lucius; I just hate Lucius. I'm really curious about *why* I hate him with such singlemindedness, and I know many disagree with me and I get why they do. I just disagree.)
In another fandom of mine, I'm about ready to bust a seam over the number of times I've been "inadvertently" insulted and had my intelligence and aesthetic tastes called into question for liking the character of Spike. And, in several cases, being told (indirectly) that the reason I like Draco is that "he's just Spike in a different fandom". And ... *grrrrr*
Excuse my rant. I'll go "ohm" in a corner for a while until I'm calm again.
