I think it's hated for the same reason that Umbridge gets more haters than Voldemort. It feels more relevant, therefore more real to the average reader.

Dealing drugs, murdering, etc., is wrong but are actions far removed from the average person's life. Cheating, lying, refusing to listen are far more likely to have affected any individual reader, making the reaction to a character who does those things more visceral.

Yes! Umbridge is the everyday evil that we may be able to see examples of in our own lives. Voldemort is epic evil who either crops up once in a generation, or only within movies or books. Like you said, it doesn't resonate on a personal level in the same way.
