Behold ‘cause you’ve guessed it, it is the one and only Draco Malfoy!

A bully who constantly torments Harry Potter and looks down on muggles:

Draco’s evolution from a bully to a sympathetic character who learns from his mistakes is one of the most compelling and a powerful story arcs in the series. However, as the story progresses, we see that Draco’s actions are largely driven by his family dynamics and the importance of breaking the cycle of negative behavior.

Despite his flaws, Draco is also portrayed as a character with many admirable qualities. He is an accomplished student and an excellent quidditch player, and he displays bravery and loyalty in the face of danger. Not to forget his grades!

Draco's journey is also one of love and redemption:

Despite numerous challenges, including the loss of his wife Astoria, he remains extremely strong for his son Scorpius, demonstrating his love and commitment to his family. Even Though Draco did not have ‘the positive father’ figure himself, Draco does an admirable job as father, breaking the cycle of negative behavior and instilling positive values in his son, by raising him with the thoughts that everyone, muggles as wizards, are all equal.

Draco's journey is not an easy one:

I mean no sixteen year old should ever have to even think about killing their headmaster. Do you know what trauma it brought to him having the dark mark itself on his arm? Think about it, what do you think would have happened if he did kill him?

He is forced to confront some harsh truths about himself and his family along the way. He makes mistakes and suffers the consequences, but he also learns from his experiences and grows as a person. By the end of the series, he is a changed man who has found a new sense of purpose and meaning in his life.

Readers who dismiss him as a one-dimensional villain are missing out on one of the most interesting characters in the story.
