The whole "people like Draco because he is blond" or "because Tom Felton is cute" thing pisses me off, largely because I do not actually think Tom Felton is cute. And I wouldn't even if I were 16 instead of 42. If Diego Luna, Robert Lindsay, Ephraim Ellis or Jared Padalecki ever plays a violent murderer or a psycho or something, then you can level that charge at me. Oh, wait, Ephraim Ellis DID, on Degrassi, and guess what? I don't actually like Rick Murray.
I like Draco because he is a lot like me as a kid, which I've said before, and yes, I was in fact a really fucked up kid. This doesn't mean I think that everything Draco does is wonderful (even in HBP, although I mostly credit HBP with making me more of a Hornblower, House and SPN fan, because fuck do I hate that book.)
I am always and will always BE boggled by "you can't like so and so for moral reasons" because I don't think people decide they like fictional characters for the same reasons they like real people. I work in a hospital. I adore Gregory House. I would not want him to be my boss (although I know a doctor that I am sometimes convinced the writers know too *whistles*). I would be horrified if some of the shit he pulls took place in our facility and probably the first to call Risk Management. But it's TV.
