Depending on how far you are, you will probably go from not particularly liking him to admiring nearly every facet of his character. Maybe. Maybe not. As far as Rowling goes, EY has received explicit permission from her ... legal entity/agents/company/whatever to write HPMOR, because unlike normal fanfiction, there's money involved tangentially. I doubt she's read it. In past interviews, she's basically said that fanfiction is pretty cool, she likes what she's inspired, but also that a lot of it is creepy and awful. Never commented on an individual story that I know of.
