Does Snape count?
What about Loki(marvel)?

Snape was never a good guy though. Very brave, yes and he had some good qualities. He was also vindictive and a bully - willing to put his petty dislikes above the quality of his teaching.

He was also vindictive and a bully
I formed the impression that James Potter and his gang were the real bullies, and Snape is a tragic character traumatized by their bullying.

Yes, but then he went on to be an adult bullying children.

The book strongly implies that Snape turns into a horrible person as a direct consequence of James Potter's bullying. He seems to be a nice kid before that.

Do you honestly think hed be able to keep undercover if he didnt act like a slytherin asshole?
-
-
Tragic and also an asshole.

Oh wow, you found my epitaph.

Maybe it was an act he had to play
-
In the scheme of the books, yes. He was a main antagonist for a while. In terms of his character, to what end did he have to act like a total dick to a child? No, he's just a salty removed.

Remember that we see this scene through Snape's memories - something wizards are able to distort to varying degrees.
It may well be that we aren't seeing the full story. It is revealed later that tit-for-tat behaviour was quite common to the both of them.

Snape was a good guy, in a sense of oposing the bad guy.
He was however not a good guy in a sense of being at least a decent human being.
