My problem with the Gray-Manes is simple. As annoying as the Battle-Born family are, if Whiterun becomes Stormcloak territory (and gets ruled by Vignar Gray-Mane), they pretty much get robbed twice, with the guards turning a blind eye. No matter if they support the Empire, the guards' duty is to protect the popupation, regardless of which faction they support. And Adriane Avenici is hated simply for her heritage. Needless to say Whiterun won't be repaired after the civil war (maybe my game is glitched, I need someone to confirm that).

The Silver-Blood aren't bad? Please, this family is equally, if not worse people of all Skyrim (the Black-Briar family are nothing compared to them) – they practically run Markarth and use brutal force to keep it in check, not to mention they use the Forsworn secretly to utilise fear tactics.
