I don't know how much morality has to do with it? At least in my case. I tend to like certain types of characters and certain types of flaws, often more in spite of morality than because of it. Two of my go-to character types are as often villains as heroes (veteran survivors cross over into cowards semi-regularly, and iron-willed visionaries can be anything from messiahs to tyrants to morons who get everyone killed). I usually love them anyway, and in the latter case in particular the flaws can be truly titanic in scale and the morality all over the map.

About my only requirement when it comes to character flaws and morality is that the text acknowledges the flaw and grants it either reasonably realistic consequences or an explanation for why the character managed to dodge them. If my glorious revolutionary leader gets two thirds of his rebellion killed straight out of the gate because his eyes were so full of the future that he tripped over his own feet, I'm gonna need either some guttering morale in the ranks or some previous evidence that his charisma stats are off the charts and/or some evidence that he's lying through his teeth about what happened, thank you.

It's not about morality. It's about actions getting appropriate reactions, or at least an explanation why not.

(And I've no opinion on Xander Harris. I saw Buffy, ages ago, but the only thing I remember caring overmuch about were stuffy British Watchers and Drusilla. This is ... probably illustrative of my priorities in fiction).
