Courtney wasn't delibertly flirting with Justin. Justin, of his own accord, fell for her and Courtney realized that Justin had his armor down, so she used that to her advantage. That is not manipulation. Manipulation requires absolute control, which Courtney did not do.

She had a reason to taunt Cameron, and it was because Cameron was annoying her. Moreover, the definition of a bully is someone who picks on someone who is a good guy, but Cameron was on the villains team which doesn't classify him as a hero. Therefore, even if Courtney was picking on Cameron, that does not make her a bully becasue Cameron was considered a villain.

Her comment that she would let Gwen get eaten alive falls on death ears. For one thing, there is absolutely no evidence that she would do such a thing. Moreover, there is evidence that she just said that to convince herself more than anybody else. She eventually forgave Gwen, which is not something she would do if she really would have let Gwen get eaten alive. Therefore, Courtney is not a jerk.

An anti hero is someone who is heroic but has less than idealistic heroic qualities and that's exactly what Courtney is. She encouraged her team to shape up, she helped DJ faced her fears, she stood up for Harold when Duncan was picking on him, she befriended her mortal enemy (Gwen) when Heather picked on her. She protected Scott from evil animals, and encouraged him to face his fear of sharks...You would never expect that from a true villain.

Her ignoring Zoey was Zoey's own fault. Had Zoey accepted Courtney's offer, she likely would have helped her with the crocodile. Moreover, Gwen ignored Zoey too, but I don't think you consider her evil.
