Oy, another version of "what does it say about me?" if I dislike the 
character,

Tell me, if I am ready to put up a  slogan "Die, Kreacher, die", 
does it mean that I support death penalty in RL?
(I will help you - NO, I don't)

First:
I am not sure how my desire to see the villain or semi-villain is 
connected with increased popularity. If you show me where I in my 
posts EVER objected to ANY character poularity, I would appreciate 
it.

Second:

My preferable option for Snape would be develop grudging respect for 
Harry at the end and vice versa, but wait, I said it many, many 
times already.

I want CARMIC payback for what Snape put the kids through, if he 
does not change at the end and whether it increases his popularity 
or not, I don't really care, especially because I really like him as 
a character myself AND I really like PART of his personality.

Draco's popularity? It pussles me, I confess, but mainly because he 
is such a 2-D character.
