Susan now:
Just to nitpit a bit, JKR did not use the word "hate". What was
said was:
LRGS School: Which character do you most dislike ?
JK Rowling replies -> Probably Uncle Vernon.
So she was answering which character she most *dislikes*...and said
*probably* Uncle Vernon. I would argue that there is a difference
between hate & dislike.
One wise lister [I'm sorry, I've forgotten who!] suggested that JKR
might also have been speaking about her dislike of *writing* about
Vernon. Voldy and Lucius and Bellatrix are pretty exciting, even if
they're evil, and Vernon...well, Vernon is just kinda nasty.
Perhaps understandably nasty some of the time [nod to Kneasy], but
pretty cartoonish and 2-D, and not much character development
happening lately.
