I think a lot of what makes a character come across as a Sue, is at core about the execution, and specifically, about what place the character occupies in the story. If you're going to introduce some original character as the main character of your fic, she's better be mightily well written for me to be interested in reading about her at the expense of the canon cast which I'm originally there for.

Agreed 100%. You can have a character who seems incredibly Sue-ish on paper, but if they're written well, they can be a great, well-developed character. Conversely, you can have a character who doesn't have any outwardly obvious Mary Sue traits at all turn out to be a gigantic Sue if the author warps the entire story around them.
