--- Quote ---The most important character in a work, the character whom the story or play seems to follow, is called the hero or the protagonist (this character can also be called the title character if his/her name is used as the title of the story or play). The terms hero and protagonist are often used interchangeably, but in certain contexts, they are different. The word hero, derived from a Greek word meaning "protector," originally referred to a man born of one mortal and one immortal parent and known for courageous and noble exploits. We still look up to heroes as people with higher moral and physical standards than ourselves. However, some "heroes" engage in questionable or repulsive behavior; for example, the narrator in Edgar Allan Poe's "The Tell-Tale Heart," who kills his benefactor and buries him under the floorboards, can hardly be considered noble, so the term hero does not seem to fit him. The term protagonist is derived from Greek words meaning "chief actor" or "one who struggles first." However, though the protagonist is a leader, much like a hero, the term does not carry the connotations of moral worth as does the word hero. Thus the narrator of "The Tell-Tale Heart," who is the chief actor of the story, can rightfully be called a protagonist. In general, the term protagonist can be applied more universally than the term hero.

The hero/protagonist can also be defined as the character who drives the action of the plot forward; he or she acts, and the other characters react. Again, the protagonist of "The Tell-Tale Heart" provides us with an example. His growing madness and his scheme to kill his benefactor are the actions that give the story its meaning; without his distaste for his benefactor's "Evil Eye," we essentially have no reason for the story to be told.

He's definitely not a villian in my book, because a villian is more or less just the counterpart of the protagonist or the hero in a story, like Darth Vader is to the Jedi. But whatever, I didnt see that they put him up as a top 50 villian when I posted this. It's alright, he just has to be mentioned, and I was suprised when I thought that he wasnt.
