The addiction thing seems in some (not all) cases to be writers also going the "extreem" route- very similar to the Harry can't just have had a crummy neglectful childhood he had to be repeatedly beaten with crushed ribs and broken bones and gang-raped everynight by all of the dursleys, etc until snape or whoever comes to rescue him. Moderation- be it for Harry's upbringing or Snape's recreational enjoyments works better IMHO for most fics.
Moderation. Yes. Absolutely. I never wrote Harry's childhood as being that horrific. Nor would I.
