Writing Rodney McKay

Writing Rodney is difficult in the same way that writing Snape or Spike is difficult. Many writers (myself included!) have trouble writing a Spike, for instance, who is both an amoral killing machine and a poetic softie. How do you write Rodney in all his "petty, arrogant, and bad with people" glory while still making him endearing? Along the same lines, how do you portray his romantic relationships realistically? I hate the whole "John thinks Rodney being an asshole is funny" trope just as much as I hate the "Jennifer calls him out on his shit so she sucks" flipside. How do you write a Rodney who true to canon?
