The world's supply of blonde is rationed, with only one per fandom.

I don't think being aimed for children has anything to do with it.

I don't mean to suggest HP fans are thicker or more child-like than BTVS, or any others!
Just that as the books are essentially children's stories, sometimes the fandom has a more simplistic attitude, imho: JKR is always right, Gryffindors are always right, blah blah.
It's hard to judge, I suppose, but we're only now in book 5/7 getting into moral complexities and shades of gray, whereas most fandoms deal with these a little sooner in their own timeline.

Aren't LotR-fans incredibly defensive of Tolkien as well?

Ask Teh Magpie! ;)

Preferably arguments which shows that the person giving them has done some thinking on his/her own, and is not only spewing stuff that other people on his/her side has said before them with the exact same phrasing.

I don't know, it'd be kinda nice sometimes to have a default argument written out...
I just say 'Go ask Magpie/Chief/Ishtar' but then, I'm lazy ;)
