I have no strong feelings about it, honestly, though I think I prefer 3rd person limited so it feels more like what we're used to in HP.
(Does anyone ever write omniscient? I can hardly think of one. It's always someone's POV, even when it switches POVs, isn't it?)
I have seen people say that with both 1st and 2nd person, sometimes they find it harder to relate because you're required to identify with the character more? IDK That may not make sense but when you say "I" or "you" it's more immediate, personal which can be a good thing but depending on what you're selling, perhaps not if the character is a harder to identify with one.
I actually think for the most part it's just not the "standard" preference and probably a lot of people who say they don't like it, hardly ever read it and really don't know. :D Well, either that or they did read a few stinkers and haven't given it a try since.
