Yes, it would be boring if all the characters shared the same opinion, but still, redemption is such a big concept, deal, goal, in the Buffyverse that characters who don't really believe in it, Xander and maybe Giles look to me as being wrong somehow.
Wrong in the Buffyverse, not wrong because I disagree with that view.
Xander is also, like pretty much all the JW characters, a hypocrite, so I see nothing wrong with him having a different set of rules for different people.
And remember the "Maybe Willow IS back?" when they find the skinless dude in S7?
And I don't want Dracula to be redeemed, but, it's the Buffyverse... JW can easily see it as a grand gesture of something or other. :D But if I had to bet, I'd bet on "cos' it's funny" as the reason for Dracula's presence.
