I don't understand the negativity a lot of people dump on her. I thought that retiring Joyce and bringing Dawn on board was an excellent trade. I thought the setup with Dawn was wonderful. I loved the way the terminally ill Joyce somehow knew that Dawn wasn't theirs, but that they must always take care of her as if she was a Summers girl. I thought Dawn's scenes with Spike were some of the best moments for both characters. I replay the scene atop Glory's tower over and over just to watch MT deliver her Dawnie lines with such wonderful facial and vocal expression. The writers completely bungled the Dawn character in the final two seasons, separating her from Spike and ignoring her mystical origins, and, as you say, turning her into a klepto. The Little Bit deserved better. Maybe they should have let her jump off the tower in "The Gift" instead of Buffy, since they clearly had no idea what to do with her after that. Oh, yeah, I also love that screen cap you used, beautifully framing the Summers girls at a moment which could have been their last together, had Willow not stepped in. I love the Niblet.

Oh my re watching of Buffy I discovered I have a lot of time for Dawn - when she's annoying it's cos she's reacting to the way everyone else is treating her, i.e. badly. She acts out and demands attention because the others ignore her otherwise and treat her like she's aged about 10 and can't think for herself. yeah S5 finale was amazing.
