Though we all spent the first six books angry at Snape, he turned out to be on the good side in the end, even if he was prejudiced in his youth. Snape proves that someone you thought was a villain all along might actually be a hero.
Though the Dursleys were awful to Harry, at least they weren't Death Eaters. In fact, Dudley turned out all right in the end (he doesn't think Harry's a "waste of space," after all), and Petunia was sympathetic because she wanted what we all want: to go to Hogwarts. Vernon, on the other hand... yeah, Vernon wasn't too great.
Once again... at least she wasn't a Death Eater. Still, Aunt Marge was pretty awful — I can't let those horrible insults about Harry's father slide — but she did get her comeuppance in the end.
Though Narcissa supported her husband, who was a Death Eater, she never actually became one. And in the end, when her son's life was in danger, she protected him by lying to Voldemort. That takes guts, and it ultimately helped Harry defeat he-who-must-not-be-named — so Narcissa wins least evil Malfoy family member.
He was annoying from the beginning, when he bashed the Weasleys and went on and on about blood purity, and eventually became downright evil when he joined Voldemort's side. Still, evil never came naturally for Draco, and it always seemed that he was in way over his head. Though a lot of us secretly wished he would be the resident Bad Boy with a Hea...
Poor Quirrell was easily manipulated, and had pretty much no backbone. He completely submitted to Lord Voldemort, letting him live in the back of his head (?), and then became yet another disposable follower of the dark lord. The only good thing about Quirrell? His AVPM counterpart. *listens to "Different As Can Be on repeat*
Lucius is responsible for giving Ginny Tom Riddle's Diary, and it all goes downhill from there. He's cold, cruel, and constantly ridicules the Weasleys and Dobby, who are the best so that's a major strike against him. Though he's an extremely prejudiced Death Eater, he eventually throws it away to try and save his son, so he at least has some redee...
Aragog is an enormous spider: strike one. He got Hagrid expelled from Hogwarts: strike two. Then he tried to feed Harry and Ron to his children. Strike three — he's out — I'm gonna go follow the butterflies now.
Oh yay, another creepy creature who eats humans. And this one's a snake. Voldemort's pet is pretty evil, as she eats a ton of his victims (and bites Arthur Weasley), but when Neville kills her, it's pretty epic. So at least there's that.
The only reason Grindelwald isn't higher on the list is that we don't know a ton about him (prequel please...). However, we do know that he was basically another Voldemort, betrayed the noble Albus Dumbledore, and used the phrase "for the greater good" to justify a lot of terrible actions. So we know he was pretty awful.

- Dementors. Absolutely no motivations except a hunger for a soul is what drives these cloaked monstrosities. Nothing is scarier than that, except their faceless appearance with a gaping hole to use against their victims.
- Dolores Umbridge. Black is the Death Eaters color. Pink is the armor of Umbridge, with a too realistic hatefulness hiding beneath her hyper-femininity.
- Draco Malfoy. Voldemort may be considered Harry’s polar opposite, the two seen as moralistic yin and yang, but what about Draco? Unlike Voldemort and many of the other villains in the film series, Draco (Tom Felton) and Harry have drifted through each other’s lives in school since their first year at Hogwarts.
- Lord Voldemort. With his penchant for screaming out inaudible sounds, the Dark Lord was so deadly and sure of his invincibility, he walked around barefoot when he regained human form.
- Rubeus Hagrid. If there was ever a completely unproblematic favorite character in the history of all fiction, then Rubeus Hagrid is that character. It's actually astounding that Hagrid was booted out of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for suspicious behavior, because Hagrid doesn't have a bad or dishonest bone in his body and anyone who has known him for more than five minutes would know how consummately good and trustworthy he really is.
- Neville Longbottom. Rubeus Hagrid may be the sweetest man in the entire Harry Potter universe, but Neville Longbottom has undoubtedly given him a run for his money.
- Harry Potter. Harry Potter is clearly a character with some flaws, but there is no denying that he is a much better person than the vast majority of people ever could hope of being.
- Hermione Granger. When most people think of the kind of best friend that they would like to have, a ride or die pal like Hermione Granger is undoubtedly what most people hope to have at least once in their lives.
- Severus Snape. Actor: Alan Rickman. “Always”…The word that comes to mind when remembering the cold and mysterious Potions professor. We were almost certain Severus Snape worked for the bad guys, considering he emotionally bullied Harry for years.
- Neville Longbottom. Actor: Matthew Lewis. Not everyone will agree with this one, mostly because Neville Longbottom is a secondary character and serves as comic relief for much of the series.
- Lord Voldemort. Actor: Ralph Fiennes. Ironically, He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named is mentioned more than he appears on screen, yet he is our third-favorite Harry Potter character.
- Hermione Granger. Actress: Emma Watson. Ranked as the fourth top Harry Potter character is Hermione Granger. The one who stands by Harry the most; the Muggle-born who is unashamed of who she is; the smart young witch and cleverest in Hogwarts…
Aug 24, 2020 · Marge Dursley. All the Dursleys are bad, but Marge is just the worst. Her character only exists to be mean to Harry and insult his parents — and eat and drink Vernon and Petunia out of house and home. Usually people with dogs get a few points, but considering she uses her dog to torment Harry even further, she literally has no redeeming ...
