That said, I'm a very large woman myself and it does bother me the way JKR has made most of her worst characters fat.
Funnily enough, that's why I was really hoping that Millicent Bulstrode was going to be a 'good' Slytherin in OotP.
I was a big, tall girl at the age of 12, completely capable of and willing to put my classmates in a headlock -- so I wound up identifying with her and being disappointed that JKR made her an Inquistorial goon.
Frankly, sometimes the way that Harry's perceptions are so shallows drives me up the wall and into subverting the authorial intention out of pure orneryness.
