Listed the exact same reasons that I would have given for Meg. I feel there are many more layers to her than to most Disney females and in a short time she's given a lot of potential development. Meg also proposes a different perspective to the whole "female love interest" thing, being portrayed as a completely average girl and even kind of treacherous at first, she's not an innocent country girl, a princess or an universal charmer like Esmeralda.
Another thing that gets me about Meg is that I figure she had set her mind from the very beginning about Hercules, knowing that he was either destined to become a god or perish at the hands of Hades, and she was always ready to acknowledge that she didn't really belong with a god, like at the end of the movie.
And yes, I Won't Say I'm In Love is such an effective song.
