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.

- Dudley Dursley. Dudley Dursley may be a spoiled little boy, but he's not evil. He doesn't usually bully Harry, just gets everything that he doesn't get to have - and that's through no fault of his own.
- Lavender Brown. Lavender Brown is one of the most disliked characters in the Harry Potter universe, but truth be told, she's not all that evil. Rather than having a tendency toward the dark side, she’s just unlikeable because she's needy, emotionally dependent, and gets between Ron and Hermione.
- Mundungus Fletcher. Mundungus Fletcher is a petty thief and criminal who doesn't have much thought for anyone but himself. However, it's important to remember that he's one of the founding members of the Order of the Phoenix.
- Petunia Dursley. Harry's Aunt Petunia is ashamed of her affiliation with the wizarding world, and she takes her resentment for Lily out on Harry, who's done nothing wrong.
- Voldemort. Just as Harry Potter is now counted among popular culture's best "chosen one" heroes alongside the likes of Luke Skywalker and Frodo Baggins, Voldemort will forever be mentioned along with pop culture's most notorious villains.
- Gellert Grindelwald. The "Harry Potter" saga has been seen as an allegory about the fight against injustice since it hit bookshelves back in 1997. Many fans have picked up on what seem like clear parallels between the rise of bigotry-based authoritarianism in our own world history (particularly, the events of World War II and the Holocaust) and in the Wizarding World.
- Bellatrix Lestrange. "Harry Potter" fans are told of the evil exploits of two dark, magical, would-be dictators throughout the books, movies, and plays that cover the story in its entirety.
- Peter Pettigrew. Audiences first meet Ron's pet rat Scabbers in "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone." But then "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" contains the surprise revelation that the scraggly rodent who's prone to biting his master is none other than Peter Pettigrew, the one-time member of the Marauders (along with James Potter, Remus Lupin, and Sirius Black).
