I don't think his behavior is particularly creepy, and I think he
probably is a good guy.  I think this is particularly likely since
Hermione seems to be such a good judge of character.  I don't think it's
weird for him to have been interested in someone so much younger, and
yes, he does seem to have good taste in women!  The only thing about him
that I *do* find vaguely creepy are the descriptions of his physical
appearance.  It's not just that he's somewhat awkward & somewhat
unattractive.  It's more that his appearance is couched in such ...
creepy ... terms.  I don't feel like getting passages from GoF, but ...
that's my impression.

I also agree that he does not like his fame or being singled out.
