Is Willow afraid that Buffy will turn Kennedy into a criminal? Hard to say. Actually this one is easy to answer because Willow learned about Buffy being a criminal this very second. While she's been keeping Kennedy away for a year. So *that* could not been her motive - and she explained her motive pretty well anyway. One of the few things which was well explained in this issue. She's keeping Kennedy away to protect her from the violent life surrounding Buffy. Heh, what about a violent life surronding Willow? And any generic slayer?
As for playing for laughs: if there's one guy who was treated seriously as a nasty, nasty person that would be Warren. Buffy got compared to Warren. That one Joss would never laugh off.
