Villains in potterverse

I had been thinking. As some posters probably know, I don't find 
Voldemort to be a very convincing villain. Oh, sure , I hate what he 
stands for , because JKR tells us so, but as a character I don't 
have strong feelings about him.

I believe that JKR writes grey or good guys with "partially evil 
personalities" MUCH more convincingly that she writes villains.

Do you guys find that JKR's villains or I should qualify, Death 
Eaters are scary?

Personally, I find Umbridge or Snape to be MUCH scarier people than 
Voldemort ever managed to be.

I find Graveyard scene to be quite chilling, but that is because I 
think that Harry's suffering is masterfully conveyed. Voldemort is 
still rather cartoonish there.


Bellatrix Lestrange I could find scary upon proper reflection, I 
guess, because she is sooo crazy and because we finally saw WHAT she 
did to Longbottoms, but besides her, I don't know.


Thoughts?
