Not a single characterizations so much as a group characterization, but I hate when Harry Potter fics act like the Gryffindors were all self-righteous bullies and if they'd been nicer then the Slytherins wouldn't have been the way they were, and after the war the Gryffindors have an ethical responsibility to extend a hand in friendship to the poor downtrodden Slytherins, and if they don't do it then they're no better than the blood purists they fought to defeat in the war.

It comes up a lot (though I think has been less popular in recent years), this sort of woobifying of the Slytherins while simultaneously acting like the Gryffindors had it soooo easy and were actually self-righteous jerks. And I'm just not here for it.

None of the Slytherins are beyond forgiveness or redemption, IMO, because they were young and they were parroting what they'd been taught. The good/bad divide isn't nearly as cut and dried as canon makes it out to be, and I do have sympathy for what some of the elder Slytherin characters must've gone through. But the elder Slytherins were plenty old enough to know they were doing things that were very wrong, and I'm not interested in seeing them cast as victims over and above the people who were actual victims of Voldemort and his supporters.
