A character doesn't have to be likeable for me to like the character, they just need to be interesting. I like Trevor as a character because he has some complexity in his backstory (especially if you get the epilogue ending), and I think he could be a very compelling character if given the chance. I would never want to meet him in real life, but he has the potential to be interesting.

A lot of protagonists are likeable, Trevor was the opposite and really had the chance to be interesting without being likeable. But Rockstar refused to give him a decent backstory, and we only get glimpses into something that could be truly interesting.
