Great post. I love your thoughts about Willow here:
Like most of us, I suspect, Willow wants to feel like Super!Willow without the attendant responsibility of being her. She wants power, yes, but largely as means to avoid having to experience unpleasantness, and if achieving that disrupts other people’s lives then so be it.
I actually feel that Willow going overboard at Rack's and everyone concluding that she was addicted to magic was actually a way of avoiding rather confronting her problems, but I think that her wanting power without the responsibility is a big part of her problem and a large factor in the decision to resurrect Buffy.
