If that were so obvious then she wouldn't have begun to redeem herself at the 
end of GoF. She's another character that isn't what she seems at first. After 
all, nobody liked Sirius at first in PoA I'm sure

Once again, I do not think we supposed to dislike her. We're supposed to 
judge her at first and then wait as she begins revealing her real character.

Well, since you had to use additional letters from Fleur's name just to make 
a cool acronym, then no. Although I can't remember the name of the Fleur 
Defense one...

What? How are you judging Fleur because her sister turned up? I think that 
was something that was supposed to make us reconsider our judgment of her.

As Dumbledore always says, you can't help who your family is. Hagrid is part 
giant but that doesn't make him bad
