I didn't really know where to snip, so I just took a few sections.

I tend to agree with you. What a person reads mostly just indicates
what they read. If one must form an opinion on someone based on their
readings, then base it on content - did they like the villain or hero?
Wherefore? Using the example given, the hating of Snape may not be
very telling, but the reason for this dislike is marginally more
insightful. There are so many caveats to tack onto this, though. Does
the reason said person doesn't like Snape apply to his "real" world
view or just a fantasy world view? Is the dislike of Snape influenced
by emotional baggage and therefore is mostly a "knee jerk" reaction?
So many caveats.

Well, sure if you go into explanations and RL comparisons, etc, you 
are talking about RL staff and other people can make at least some 
sort of judgment about who you are IMO, but not if you are saying "I 
hate Snape" or "I hate Harry" and leave it at that.

I am saying that IF you are making some sort of RL connection, then 
it is sort of easier, but still so many caveats indeed.

I mean, I learned from reading some bizarre things about people on 
Internet that people can make up stuff about themselves, who they 
are, etc, but I always tend to take people upon their word, so if 
person talks about certain staff in their RL, their views, etc, I 
would take it on faith, unless I may suspect a joke, hehe.
