I'd have to put Snape at the top of both lists. He's the greatest hero, of course, because he reports to Voldemort, even though he might be exposed at any minute, through Voldemort's abiity to read minds and Bellatrix's constant shrieking about Snape being untrustworthy. Snape's the ultimate bad guy because he constantly taunts and tortures Harry, his hatred of James overcoming his ability to locate some compassion for Lily's son. In DH, while he's dying, Snape shares a memory in which Dumblemore asks Snape does he finally have some feeling for Harry, and Snape responds by showing that he has love for only Lily. To me, Snape carries his hatred for James, and by extension Harry, to his grave. Besides, an adult hating a kid as much as Snape hated Harry is villianous indeed.
