* CharacterPerceptionEvolution: While back in the day, many adults viewed the titular character less as a lovable prankster and more like a [[SpoiledBrat spoiled]] [[{{Wangst}} whiny]] {{Jerkass}} ungrateful for everything he had, in later years, many people have come to sympathize with him due to his [[AbusiveParents parents]] handling his behavior with emotional abuse and [[WhyCouldntYouBeDifferent comparing him to his]] brother, Perfect Peter (who [[BitchInSheepsClothing isn't as perfect]] as his name suggests). As a result, nowadays more people understand why exactly he's so horrid.

** In recent years, Mum and Dad have been seen as AbusiveParents just as bad as, if not ''worse'', than [[WesternAnimation/MoralOrel Clay and Bloberta Puppington]] and [[WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents Mr. and Mrs. Turner]] who constantly deny Henry of breakfast and treat him like absolute crap even when he isn't doing anything wrong. While yes, they aren't exactly "Parents of the Year" and can be unfair to Henry, but they do genuinely love him, and let's face it, Henry's not "Horrid Henry" for nothing. It doesn't help that these detractors judge them solely by select out of context clips (like the aforementioned Mum cheering at Henry's "disappearance" scene) that were posted online and take them seriously.

* TooBleakStoppedCaring: This is how some people feel about the entire franchise, especially those from the United States. Considering that Henry is a selfish brat with a screwed-up family and the fact that they live in a CrapsackWorld where everyone is either a Jerkass or an undeserving butt-monkey, both the books and the cartoon series are not exactly easy to enjoy at times.

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: Henry's parents are meant to be portrayed as a pair of reasonable, exasperated parents who are at their wits end due to dealing with an unruly child. And indeed, as mentioned above there are plenty of instances where they are justified in punishing Henry. However, given how unfairly they tend to punish Henry most other times, and often outright neglecting him and favouring Peter, who isn't quite as "perfect" as his nickname suggests, many fans and detractors alike view them as full on AbusiveParents who [[AlternativeCharacterInterpretation may even]] simply be the ''[[FreudianExcuse cause]]'' of Henry's horrid behaviour.

*** It's also common to believe Henry’s more horrid behaviours could be some symptoms of an undiagnosed mental health disorder such as ADHD. His trouble in school might partly be part of a learning disability (mixed with [[BookDumb hating school]] and [[LazyBum being lazy]]). His bad behaviour could be seen as a cry for help as well or due to his parents neglecting him in favour of his younger brother.
