This is an interesting question. I think it depends. In theory writers own the characters and create them and therefore they should be able to know everything about the characters and whatever they write is a part their creation and therefore justifiable.
But sometimes writers are not good enough to do their characters justice - make a possibly intersting character two dimensional, because they don't have the ability to show the third dimension. And then there are always cases when all of a sudden a character takes a u-turn, and either he or his actions change drastically without any explanation.
