I really think that's one of the big problems for me in HP:

I read it when I was a kid myself, and even then, I found the very one dimensional "evil=ugly and mean" characters annoying. But that's just the way a lot of children's books are and I loved them very dearly nonetheless. The problem was that it wasn't until book 4 that the characterisation started changing and becoming more subtle. And that was a bit too late, for my taste, to start backtracking with a lot of characters. I always thought the whole "Snape's evil!" - "Now he's good!" - "Now evil again" - "Or maybe good after all?" thing was very inconsistent and silly.

Generally, I thought the series never did the transition from "cute children's book" to "young adult fantasy lit and WIZARD WAR; PEOPLE DYING!" very well.
