To show that Naruto is not the center of her attention and there is other people, i know you're not going to accept this but Neji wasnt special to her, flashbacks could be an ultimate prove that she really cares about other people, she would get over her "one-dimensional" when Naruto give the speech to Lee she was nowhere to be seen, despite being on that scene, she didnt get a development on Neji's death what she get was acknowlegment along with Neji.
Also despite her trying to protect Naruto, i dont see her trying to protect Neji on the war arc or look for each other, there's no development "offscreen" the only bond Hinata had with Neji was the fact that she was his cousin they seemed only as friends and nothing else.
She's selfish and even on that moment the first part that she make "thoughts" was a comment about Naruto's hand when she should think about Neji like Naruto did, on his mind he also thanked Neji for being at his side with the "also Neji, thanks to you too".
THe reason to hate her is the fact that she puts Naruto above everything else, unlike Naruto does, even Obito did before his downfall and Minato.
*Now going to go back to Unreal Development Kit and update my developer's diary*
I don't need to see flashbacks of Kiba, Kurenai, Shino and her sister to know that she cares about them. I don't need flashbacks to know Naruto cares about his friends. I don't need flashbacks to know these things because I can tell by the actions and words of the characters. You can't expect their feelings to be spelled out the entirety of the way. Sometimes, you just need to look and see for yourself. Flashbacks are not ultimate proof of care. The actions and words you present involving the characters let it be known. Hinata cried when Neji died. She looked absolutely heartbroken. Hinata cares about Neji and it's clear to me, flashbacks or no. By that logic, to make sure Neji gave a kitten about Hinata, we should have gotten flashbacks on all the times he had with her. To make sure Iruka really cares about Naruto, how about them flashbacks of them? I haven't seen him getting flashbacks with Naruto lately, guess that means he doesn't care right?
And when's the last time we saw Sakura with flashbacks of Naruto? Guess she doesn't care either. To me, Hinata isn't one dimensional. Kishi could have improved her a bit (but I say that with almost all the rookies in general).
What speech to Lee? You'll have to remind me. You didn't see her protecting Neji? I quite recall her protecting him from a Zetsu that he was having trouble with. They had each others backs as Hiashi himself stated to his brother Hizashi that there was no such fate for the branch house anymore, and that Neji and Hinata were on the battlefield fighting alongside one another to prove that, not as branch house and main house members, but as two comrades protecting one another.
The only bond Hinata had with Neji was a comrade and friend? That's a bond then. She also has bonds with Shino, Kiba, Kurenai and Naruto. Again, Hinata thought about Naruto's hand as big and strong is a moment I can let slide due to the difficulty of the situation, the pain she just experienced, and the fact that the man she loves is holding her hand for the first time. Still, doesn't negate the fact that her speech centered around Neji's sacrifice and that she does in fact, care about others besides Naruto.
Hinata doesn't put her love for Naruto above everything else. She puts his safety above her own, which is selfless and brave of her, especially since he's the only one who can stop Madara and Obito. Hinata is very different from Obito, I even think I had this argument before with someone else, but all I have to say a bout that is, Obito and Hinata are far too different to even be compared. It's like apples with carrots.
Wow, Your one the the most clever NH fans I have ever seen! And I agree with this! Altho I'm still sticking to NS clearly, as far as what you are saying when you defend Hinata, I agree with. There are times when she seems selfish, but really, like you said, it's just because Kishi forgot to mention a flashback. I think That Hinata is a well done side character considering that she has little focus in the main plot. Kishi shows her kindness in a interesting way... Btw, Are you a NH fan? or are you just a Hinata fan? ( or both? 
) When it comes to shipping with Hinata, I'm a HUGE Nejihina shipper, and I agree that Hinata cares for him ALOT. 
( I partly blame the Rock Lee SD series for making my Nejihina obession worse.. 
)

I'll just throw my opinion in her and say that hinata so far has been too Naruto centered like others have said.
