That's an interesting question. Where exactly is the line between AU and different sets of headcanon? I don't really try to distinguish between canon, headcanon, and AU. It's all just thought-fodder to me. I suppose it's kinda strange, as I'm always obsessed about knowing as much canon as possible in every show I get into. Anyway, from what I've read on ffn and ao3, people do seem to get upset if you go only a little bit AU. Unexpectedly, at least.
Almost all my headcanon these days is for AU universes I will likely never write about. Maybe at some point. I have a few outlines, anyway.
One of the best and worst things about a minor character is headcanon freedom. You can really get away with almost anything. But it can feel like different people are writing about very different characters.
