Methinks you aren't understanding what that tumblr person meant. "Liking" a character isn't necessarily about feeling good feelings towards a character. You can think a character is great precisely *because* they cause you to dislike them as a person so much. Like, Delores Umbridge is a great character because she inspires in you a physical impulse to reach into the book and snap her neck, even though she's nothing but words on a page. Humbert Humbert is a great character because he is so well-written and believable all the way down to the details that you can hang onto your suspension of disbelief all through the whole book that a real life pedophile is telling the story, not Nabokov. Etc.

But this is the problem - Umbridge's horribleness only serves to lessen my enjoyment of the story. She doesn't inspire a physical impulse to reach into the book and snap her neck, she inspires a physical impulse to stop reading and throw the book down a well.
