It's interesting how both sets of characters, Dawn and the Potentials, tend to be overlooked and/or scorned. I wonder why that is?
Well, I'll be the first to admit that they can also be very annoying. :) I did end up liking Dawn more on rewatch, particularly in S7. (Oh, except at the end of Empty Places. But then again, I pretty much hate everyone except Buffy during that final scene.) I absolutely love the moment between Dawn and Xander at the end of Potential -- it's one of my favorite parts of S7.
I guess this is why, perhaps, it was important that Dawn did not become a Slayer as was hinted at and then scupered in Potential for she was the line that delineated Buffy-the-Slayer from Buffy-the-Girl.
Yes, I agree. And I'm very glad they didn't decide to make Dawn a Potential.
