I don't hate her at all, she's my most favorite character in the series. :)
A lot of people see Rosalie's feelings towards Bella as "bitchy" or they label her as a "bitch", especially since Rosalie (I'll admit) was indeed mean to Bella at times. But in my opinion, Rosalie's feelings towards Bella are almost the opposite of hatred.
We are all aware (except for those who didn't read Eclipse) of Rosalie's past. She had dreams that were close to coming true, but her fiance, Royce abolished them in a horrific way. Then she was transformed into a vampire which made her even more unhappy, because once someone is a vampire, they're frozen in time. All of their bodily functions cease to work and freezes along with everything else, and a changing body is what an unborn baby has to have. Like she told Bella in Eclipse, half of her dreams came true because she found Emmett. But the other half, children of her own, is what she'd give anything for.
Now, with this alone it's bound to make anyone bitter at the least.
But along with feeling this way, Rosalie is watching this young eighteen-year-old girl willing to sacrifice her human life to become what Rosalie would never choose to be. Rosalie sees Bella tossing away all of the things she would trade anything to have again, and it greatly frustrates her at the least.
To me, Rosalie didn't mean Bella any harm. In fact, I see a compassionate and maybe even a maternal side of her when she told Bella her story and explained to her what she was sacrificing and perhaps would terribly miss someday.
I don't understand the fans' hatred for Rosalie at all, either. I'll accept their opinions, because they're entitled to them. But I can't help but think that Rosalie is greatly misunderstood by fans at times.
Now, my answer is probably very long, so this would be the last thing I'll say;
I don't think Leah's that mean either, just very hurt. Her boyfriend, Sam had to leave her because he imprinted on her cousin. I don't know one girl who didn't see her break-up with her first boyfriend as completely devastating. But that's just me....
