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.
