Jackson's Lord of the Rings movies also differed from the books in many ways. I'm not too concerned with him changing a few minor things in the Hobbit... I actually like that he is highlighting the necromancer more in order to connect the movie more strongly to the Lord of the Rings. I'm a big fan of the Hobbit movies so far and think the last one will be remembered as "on par" with the Return of the King/Two Towers.
