Each of the Bronte sisters' books, every Harlequin romance (though I don't read them) even the poem The Highwayman along with many other books has a dark, brooding, moody, tortured soul hero that the heroine wants to save from himself. So long as this genre is balance by others, I don't see any long term harm.
Some people complained about Harry Potter when the series first came out. But Harry led children to Narnia and other wonderful fantasy series.
The best thing about the Twilight books--okay maybe the only thing--is that some teen has her face away from a video screen and tucked into a book. She's using her imagination more, she's getting some exposure to vocabulary and grammar, and she's reading.
Who knows how many of these girls do move on to Heathcliff and Mr. Rochester? ]]>
