Totally makes sense. I think I'd describe that as, now I have more insight into the creator's thought process, I can see the evidence of that thought process in the work itself. Which is definitely something that's happening with JKR and HP these days. I've read some criticism of Potter themes and creative decisions lately that clearly is coming out of the unfortunate opinions that JKR has chosen to share with the world.
Also I think there's a huge difference between your entirely reasonable "eh not interested in going there anymore" and people who are tearfully setting their books on a bonfire, beating their breasts about how they're not allowed to love it anymore.
