For the most part I agree with you on this, OP. Right off the bat I'm inclined to agree with you because I've always really liked both Harry and Buffy as characters. Neither of them are favorite characters of mine anymore (though both were at various times in the past), but I still admire their strengths a lot, and I generally find their flaws and their lesser moments very understandable.

That said, sometimes a character responds to something in a way that the viewer finds distinctly OOC, and that can be really annoying. Like when Laura Roslyn kind of gives up on the effort to save humanity towards the end of BSG. A lot of people who LOVED Roslyn felt really betrayed by the writer's choice to do that with her character, because she'd always been so brave and strong and basically indomitable. For her to finally just give up in the home stretch didn't seem like what she'd do. Meanwhile, other fans were really defensive of her/the writer's decision to do that with her character. Their argument was, She's fucking DYNING, okay?! AGAIN. And she's fought tooth and nail for humanity for several long years, and she just doesn't feel like spending her last days fighting that same hopeless battle.

In that sort of a case, I feel like both sides have valid opinions, and it's really a YMMV situation.

But then I guess there's a distinction between "I dislike this heroic character for having human weaknesses," and "I dislike the way the writers are writing this character because I feel it isn't in keeping with how the character has previously been written."
