The difference between Harriet and Adam is that Adam was clearly introduced as the "bad" companion to Rose's "good" one, highlighting that power and knowledge of the future can corrupt and that there are plenty of people who'd see time travel as a way to gain something for themselves vs just going out there for the exploration of it all. Yes, he was definitely more sympathetic in his first episode, but even in the second episode he wasn't evil per se... just misguided. And a lot can be said about the fact that the Doctor had just met the guy and didn't know much else about him other than those brief interactions with him and Rose.

Whereas Harriet Jones was an established someone. She was supposed to bring about Britain's Golden Age, someone the Doctor admired via history, supposedly like Churchill - another man who occasionally got his hands dirty - or Shakespeare or Dickens. That she's in "our" future vs "our" past shouldn't and shouldn't have made a difference. So for RTD to introduce her from that angle and then steer COMPLETELY in the order direction... yeah. Basically what you said, but overall Adam isn't even a blip on the radar compared to Harriet Jones.

As for Ten Too and who I assuming you're referring to as Donna, the answer is "wibbly-wobbly best of friends."

Oh yeah, I was more pointing out Adam as another example of "things that just kinda sit there and don't get resolved even though they really should". Like, I have a seriously hard time believing Adam would really just listen to the Doctor and go live a nice quiet life and manage it without being found out, y'know? But...yeah, RTD does these weird douchey things that should have all these kind of important consequences but don't quite a few times, tbh. *shrugs*
