The car is off the ground. I rotate the left wheel, the right wheel immediately starts moving the opposite way. I rotate the right wheel, the left wheel doesn't move until I move the wheel very fast. Does that sound right?

If the gearbox is in neutral what was observed is perfectly normal.As Stwat says it's normal.
With a manual box that's in gear (any gear) with the engine stopped, the driveshaft can't move. When you turn one wheel, the other will turn in the opposite direction and at the same rotation speed as the diff gears do their magic.
In an automatic things are a little different and I'm not familiar with it, was yours in park or neutral when you did the test?
I'm a little surprised that each side reacted differently, maybe a little drag on the brake of the slow side or is it the torque converter affecting it in this way I wonder?
