Been reading the darkening of your soul ^_^ shadowscribe got me... interested in tomarry and here I am...
I do love that the one character, well, 2 characters we all never seem to forgive are umbridge and wormtail... and maybe Bellatrix. She seems to get a slight pass for being genuinely insane.
I've read fic were Dumbledore's not good but not like... evil? And ones where he is an actual bad guy. I love it, snape and voldemort get similar treatment. But umbridge and wormtail are pretty much always just... bad. ^_^
Umbridge is without question the most despised character in all the HP books. A sadistic monster who gets off on torturing students in the name of the Ministry. Wormtail is seen more as the ultimate coward, ratting out his friends to save himself. A very unlikable character with few redeeming qualities.
As for Dumbledore, he can easily be written and interpreted in many different ways. From misguided to a general making sacrifices to downright evil and out for power. I'm not much of a Dumbledore fan but he is a very flexible character and can easily be adjusted to fit pretty much any type of role in a story. So I write him in all those different ways depending on what the story needs.
