I don't like HP myself, but my goodness, some people take their dislikes to the severe extremities.
I don't get evangelical dislike in general, especially when people have to take it to the point of expending the energy necessary to write big polemic essays explaining to people why it's bad and wrong to like something.
(I'm also still convinced that about half the people who do that dislike things because they're popular, but that's just me..)
re: Iran, a friend of mine has been setting up and hosting proxy servers for the protestors to use to communicate through the government's bans. I'm kind of pleased to hear from him that activity there has actually gone up, which is the opposite of what you'd expect from the way the whole thing's fallen off Western news headlines.
