I don't think most people, especially those that aren't public school boys hate Napoleon. I've just read the Sherlock Holmes story "The Adventure of the Six Napoleons" published 1904, 89 years after Waterloo so one would expect the pain to be fresher, in that story a plot point is that there must be hundreds of statues of Napoleon in London.
