1. I am a Kara fan. :-) She's my favorite character on the show.
2. Has my perception of Lee changed? Yes. I thought he was kinda whiny and tight-assed in the mini. I know he had baggage but I dunno I really saw how Lee possibly dying and losing another son was about to break Adama. I was like just hug your Dad already, boy. It's the end of the world! Also, Lee reminded me a bit of myself when I was young. It was hard to watch him struggle and I think I distanced myself from him. It was rewarding to watch him grow, though.
I changed about Lee because I found a lot, I mean a lot of Lee fans/defenders here on LJ who would patiently explain Lee's behavior to me after each episode while I tried to explain Kara's. The Lee fans are so eloquent sometimes. That and reading and writing fic about him helped. :-)
3. a) Has there been a moment when you felt utterly disappointed/frustrated/angry with Lee because of his behavior towards her? No. Lee balances Kara out and he holds her responsible for her actions, baggage or not. And she needs that. She doesn't need someone always easy on her or the same as her. She needs Lee to be that voice and she needs someone to be better for even as a friend. If I was frustrated with Lee it wasn't on Kara's account. It was because the writers cut so many good scenes of him in season 2 or they dropped explanations for the suicide attempt in Res. Ship or the weight gain in season 3. It became clear to me that it wasn't Lee's fault. It was sometimes faulty writing that made his character so unclear to me.
b) And a moment when you had your particular Lee!epiphany? Two moments. My favorite line from a deleted scene in Home Pt 1. "I like to think following your heart is never a mistake." Aww! Said in this soft Lee voice. I feel that's at the center of who Lee is and they deleted it! Moment 2: RAZOR. Razor was like all LEE to me and I loved him in it. Really turned me around on him. It might have helped that I saw it on the big screen (Lee's face was huge across the screen :-)). But still, Razor. Lee was great in it to me.
