I think the point was to highlight that she wasn't wrong for everything. That while some of the things she did were unethical and shouldn't be dismissed (breaking and entering, like another comment says, and well... spying) there was nothing wrong with her having private opinions about people. A lot of the things her classmates got mad at her for writing weren't things she came up with through spying at all, they were just general observations and thoughts. And that's why in the end, she gets permission to lie. The story takes the black-and-white out of certain things that kids tend to be taught are always wrong, and puts them in a context where they can actually be right.

That said, I always thought Harriet was pretty outwardly mean-spirited to her "friends" as well. I wouldn't have been her friend in the first place, let alone after finding out she wrote worse things about me in private.
