Shippers, there's your reason :/ For good or for ill, I think shipping can take all of the blame for any hate that Heather has. Whether it's people who ship Hiccup and Astrid together and thus view Heather as competition, or people who hate Astrid and think Heather is a better fit for him....either way, shipping is what's to blame for all of this.

As for me, I never really liked or hated Heather. She's a character that I would have liked it if we saw more of or she ever came back, but I wouldn't demand her return or anything or scream and rage if she did come back. I would love to know more about her or see her again. She's a character that I probably would like if we got to know her better or saw more of her.
