Nice essay. This observation - It's interesting that Dawn is, in some mystical way, a part of Buffy-the-girl - reminds me strongly of Nan Dibble's wonderful Blood series, in which Dawn's being made from Buffy is examined and portrayed in a wonderful, thoroughly believable way, and provides much of the drama early in the second part of the series. If you've not read it, I highly recommend it.
