I remember as a kid reading one of the Narnia books {I think Voyage of the Dawn Treader} and there was a sentence where one of the characters said "and she had freckles; poor thing" or something along those lines. To my poor wee freckled self it was horrid and the first time I realised freckles weren't good to some people. And has clearly stuck with me for years.
That reminds me: I think it was Pippi Longstocking who saw an advert in a shop saying "Do you suffer from freckles?" She went in and told the shopkeeper "No!" "What?" "No, I don't suffer from freckles." "But you're covered in them." "Yes, but I don't suffer from them."
