Xavier IS a dick, but I think it's important to the character that you see how he could have been if he hadn't been taken down somewhat by being shot and not having all the advantages anymore. Of course, in addition to being a dick, he's also not in favor of mutant violence or oppression of regular humans - it's a balancing act. Whereas Erik is an asshole, but you can see WHY he's an asshole - and being with Charles and the others shows that he does have the capability to care, to make friends and see another POV (when he wants to).
Damn, I need to watch "Wanted" again so I can see Angelina Jolie beat the crap out of McAvoy. ;-) They made that movie, along with Morgan Freeman's "motherfucker!"
