Cathy Linton and Hareton are by far the most sympathetic characters to me in the whole thing, and I loved the ending of the novel, Emily wrapped it up perfectly with them two falling for each other. My patience and tolerance for Heathcliff very quickly diminished though, I think it stopped towards the whole necrophiliac wannabe incident, and definitely by the time he takes Cathy and Nelly hostage and subsequently beats Cathy. I agree Vamp, I have no idea why people adore him so much, although some of his quotes are quite touching at times!
I haven't seen the 2011 version either, they made Heathcliff black in that film, didn't they? I'll have to give it a look though, it does look interesting!
