I've been thinking the same on the Disney stuff, because it's been brought a few times when I argue against Twilight. Coincidentally I was having a discussion over the sexism in the movies with classmates the other day, which was pretty much made up of us comparing and contrasting the tougher females to the whiny, helpless ones (I've always hated Snow White, and I always will.)
I'm the same as you with Harry Potter, though it didn't hit me until they put the question to Rowling. They mentioned that it was getting darker as he got older, and she said something along the lines of, "I thought the idea of a face growing out of the back of a man's head was pretty dark". I pretty much had a big "oh duh!" moment there and then.
You know, I think it's cool that you do the Writer's Block bits- I almost want to try some myself.
