Favorite Movie Villain

So, my favorite movie villain is pretty well known, and you probably know him. I like Severus Snape a lot, from the movie series Harry Potter. Snape isn't exactly a villain, but more of an antihero. I read the Harry Potter series through til' the end, and even watched the last film at midnight release, so I'm pretty well versed in the antics of Snape. Throughout the series Snape sticks to the shadows, always appearing at the right times, somehow either saving the day, or ruining everything. Snape seems to throughout the series have inner turmoil and conflicts with himself. I think he often is torn between helping Harry Potter and the "good guys", and his old past of being a "death eater" as a servant to the evil Lord Voldemort. There are often flashbacks throughout the series, especially the 6th movie, of Snape's painful past with Harry's parents and Voldemort. I think he is often motivated by a feeling of revenge and anger towards Harry's father and Harry himself. But at other times he feels the loyalty and justice that he owes to Dumbledore the headmaster, Harry's mother (whom he had a love interest in) and Hogwarts. Because of his shady past, and often persecution, I think many of the characters, including Harry, hate Snape and see him as trouble and danger. But despite this anger and bitterness people show towards Snape he still is a person, and makes choices throughout the story. Ultimately he dies by the hands of his own master Voldemort, but he tries to make things right. Despite  Snape's many wrongs and misdoings he tries to do what he sees as right. Moving on to Snape's actual character, which I love. Snape is a menacing, snide and rude character who always has a stinging remark about Harry and his friends and constantly punishes Harry for seemingly no reason. The way he regards the Gryffindors is comical and very tongue and cheek. his character really makes me laugh, but also deeply interests me in the deeper story behind his past and inner combat.
