Because it's fun?
You can get a degree in psychoanalyzing fictional characters.

It's true, my aunt analyzes Buffy the Vampire Slayer for a living.
Raoul, you take that back. :x

It isn't a real character?

I am in the "not at all surprised, and very confused about why people are upset by Dora's attitude" camp. Dora seemed like she was in a bad mood already when Marten asked her about Toto--if she wasn't tired and grumpy she probably would have just made fun of him for asking about a band she didn't like, rather than outright insulting it. Also, if I woke up in an empty bed which my boyfriend had been in earlier, and walked out and saw him hugging my friend I knew he used to and may possibly still like, I would probably be upset and ask what was going on, too.
Dora is an entrepreneur, and she works a ton of hours and has a lot of stress in general. I don't find it surprising at all that she's a bit high-strung or that she likes control. I'm surprised that so many people seem to hate her character.

I mostly agree with you, I think the problem some people have is that when Dora has gone on a rage due to jealousy it gets kind of...severe. One example would be the whole thing with Cossette where it seemed more like Dora was trying to trap Marten (he didn't mention it, not out of any desire to keep it hidden just because he didn't think it needed to be said). Dora also fantasizes about other people and it doesn't seem to bother Marten, especially when Dora seems a lot more...forward with some people. I agree that it's more likely Dora is stressed and then this kind of has her in GRRRR mode but I can also see the perspective of the people who get very angry with her for her actions. It might also be noted that Marten seems to have a vague Charlie Brown syndrome going on.

OK, where the hell did you get this reference from?
