Yes, I can completely see all of your points. If we have a clear idea of a character's voice, someone else's attempt is likely to jar.
I really do enjoy writing next gen (well, Albus and Scorpius) because I feel like I can do what the fuck I like with them. I often hear their voices more clearly when I am writing, partly because they are more or less concocted out of my head. Mind you, fanon Draco is more or less out of my head, too, so I don't have difficulty writing him either ;)
