The actions of them can be despicable, but we can often see some victimization going on, though it doesn't justify the character's choices.

What examples of this observation can you name (in TV or movies)? How pitiful is the character?

Depends on the character and what they did, sometimes I do but most I really don't.

I'll admit that I didn't feel at little bad for Draco Malfoy at the beginning of the Harry Potter series. I eventually did later on, especially by the events of the final book. I don't feel bad for Umbridge though.

In the beginning of the series, Draco Malfoy was a spoiled little rich kid who got whatever he wanted. In his second year, he made the quidditch team for Slytherin but only because his father bought new brooms for the entire team. However, later in the series, we find out that he is being tasked with trying to find a way for the Death Eaters to get into Hogwarts and then he has to kill Dumbledore. Some people believe he was only given that task after his father failed at getting the prophesy regarding Harry & Voldemort from the Ministry of Magic.

Regarding Umbridge, she's just evil. Yes, Voldemort is pure evil and the real villain of the series. But Umbridge pretended to be a good person when really she was just hiding how horrible she really is.

I can sympathize with sob stories from Tony Montana (Scarface) or The Joker (Batman) up to a point.
