I actually had this funky thing going where when BtVS originally aired, I was really irritated with Buffy. Especially in season 7, but I think it's because I got it out of order.
However, when I rewatched on the DVDs, Buffy ended up being one of my favorites. I think a second go around with the characters made me get to know them better or something, because Buffy became one of my favorite characters.
As for Draco Malfoy, I'm one of those Draco-loving kids. I hate how J.K. Rowling doesn't develop his character, though. Every time a new one comes out, I hope that she's finally given him something - I mean, she keeps setting it up as though he will end up being some key figure in the fight between Harry and the forces of good and Voldemort and the forces of evil - I mean, he's the most well-known non-Gryffindor in Harry's class, so there must be a reason for it. And yet, Rowling just leaves him this cardboardy nothingness of a character, hinting now and then at something deeper and then dropping it. I think what I love about Draco is the fact that you can do so much with his character outside of the books - seeing the character come to life in the films is part of it, and another is the online fandom. The fact that Rowling hasn't fleshed him out has given fic writers a golden opportunity to do it themselves, and I have seen some incredible interpretations of his character.
