Yes, PoA will always have a special place in my heart because of Sirius and Remus (<3), but OotP is so much more complex, and, like you, I love the extraneous shit :-) It makes for such a rich universe to delve into, and I could read forever about Harry & Co.'s exploits at school. Plus, this is the last book in which Remus is still awesome ("Sit down, Sirius!").
I can't motivate myself to write, either, except for HP-Beholder - even though I never make the deadline and have to grovel before Beth. But there's a certain kind of pleasure in that, too. And the Beholder participants are an extremely comment-friendly bunch! I'm sure they would restore your faith in humanity in that regard - there's no way your recipient would not comment on your fic ;-)
