Possibly it's my "mere male" perspective, but I never found him as unpleasant as others seem to. Certainly Peter doesn't get on with him, but I think that's largely because Peter's preconception of brother-in-law relationship does not match Edwin's conception of adult-teenager relationship. And as Nicola shows, the adult-teenager relationship doesn't have to be a "Do as your told" one-way street. I think in other circumstances, ie. if Edwin had not been treated as an outsider in the household (probably unavoidable) and if Peter hadn't been so persistently rude (definitely avoidable) then he might have come across as a reasonably pleasant, if not especially friendly, chap.
