"I never thought it made much sense that Buffy was over-protective of Dawn at the age she was supposed to be. And her clothes- I teach teenagers, and it's rare to see a 15 year old dress like she's ten."

Of course it made sense. Dawn was her responsibility. After Joyce's death, Dawn, in a way, became her child. And no matter how old a child is, a parent never stops being protective of his or her child.

Killed off at the end of season 5.
It would have made that ridclous episode meaningfull other than the poor cop out which it was.
Anyway I am digressing after that the writers did not know what to do with her. So she just hung around.
Then in S7 With Geller going Joss tentavly tried to set up a Dawn show. She even had her own little scooby gang. That idea sunk like a dead fish with both execs and fans so.

All in all She was fine for S5 but should not have been kept after that which seemed to me more like Joss was having a back up plan in case Geller bolted.
