You are definitely not the only one who likes Charlotte... she's one of my favorite characters! I cried when she died. I love how optimistic you are, because I would love to see her survive/come back to life. I think that Daniel is gonna do his best to travel back in time and prevent her from coming back to the island.
Like you, when she mentioned marrying an American, I immediately thought of Daniel. Charlotte marrying Dan would be the ultimate happy ending for me, but since this is Lost, I am not that optimistic. I think that she is dead for good, but I will happily eat my words if I am proven wrong.
Regarding the amount of time spent on Charlotte's death: there were only one or two scenes after she died. We're not done with her death; the next episode could completely revolve around her death. Don't forget that Dan still has to tell the rest of the group that she died, and Miles will most likely have some sort of emotional reaction (even if he seems to mean, they were friends). Of course, there is always the aforementioned possibility of Dan traveling back in time to see her. To make a long story short: this is not the last we'll hear of Charlotte.
Let's just say that, if Charlotte does survive, I will jump for joy.
