>Furthermore, Moore can be quoted stating he made Dan and Laurie the more "human" of the main cast and expected that most readers' sympathy would go to them.

What's interesting to me here is that this is yet another case of Moore not realizing what his readers would take from his work. This isn't the first time this has happened. He didn't expect that the reaction to Dan and Laurie would be disgust and he didn't expect that people would sympathize with Rorschach as much as they do.

What I get from this is that maybe Moore doesn't actually understand how the average person thinks, or at least not the average comic book reader. I get what he's going for, I'm just not sure I agree with it, and it's clear a lot of people didn't agree with it either, in one way or another.
