Second person POV can make for a really interesting effect in short fanfics - the operative word being SHORT. Reading a whole novel like that gives me a headache just thinking about it.
I'm so with you on point number three. It's really funny too because it makes the characters seem really vain! Like they go around all day just thinking about their silky hair and lean muscles. :) While most published books don't have examples quite that obvious, I've seen professional authors slip around between third person omniscient and third person limited many times too.
