@fesak: I agree that she is a boring character personality-wise, but you can't say she has NO personality. If anything should define her she is strong-willed. You probably heard the "She chose to die as a human than live as a god" line (DP saga, yes) but there is more depth to her.
Much of this is brought out through other characters. She serves as a foil to Emma Frost, being fiery, passionate, motherly, caring... a story needs to have a character like Jean Grey while Emma is cold and distant. She is also relevant: Cyclops also gets affected with Jean's caring and nurturing personality (lack of) and in turn gets to be even more of a ***** when she died. She's referenced a lot and is randomly thrown in cartoons and issues to be the Deus Ex Machina as a voice, god etc. You can also say she's self-sacrificial because of how she let another woman take her man as well.
In terms of personality, she may be bland, but certainly she has some depth to her character. Characters like Jean Grey and Cyclops are often hated because they are 'bores' and prefer the bamf ones like Wolverine, but without these 'bores' a lot of things fall apart.
