Okay, of course everyone hates the villains. We're supposed to. Umbridge, Volypants, the Lestranges, The Carrows...occasionally a Malfoy or two...

So I don't feel like I need to answer those. We all hate them for the most part.

Who do I hate that isn't necessarily villainous?

SNAPE

Yeah, he's a brave and intelligent man who did some amazing things. He had a key role to play in defeating Voldemort and his loyalty to Dumbledore was touching.

But what kind of cowardly, arrogant asshole do you have to be to bully a small boy who never did anything to you just because you hated his dad and wanted to bone his mother? That's immature, and it's just wrong for someone like Snape. It makes me hate him. He treated children with such disdain and had no reason to do so. None. Think about poor fucking Neville! What in the world did he ever do to you, Snape?!?!

Holding such childish grudges, and then doing amazing and brave things almost soley for your love for a woman does not a good man make. I find Snape to be a despicable human.

PETUNIA

This answer is inspired by a discussion with a friend very recently.

What kind of woman, what kind of MOTHER neglects and abuses a young boy...nay even a baby....in the way this woman did to Harry? When I was watching the first film again, and I saw that little baby Harry all bundled up and innocent, I got really upset. i know I'm softer after having my own baby, but that just got to me. Here was a child that did nothing, and he is about to be treated like the lowest of the low for the next 11 years of his life because his aunt was jealous of her older sister. SERIOUSLY?

She's a horrible person for doing what she did, and nothing can redeem the sort of damage she inflicted on a growing and developing boy's psyche and in some cases even his physical growth.
