Me and Delta just gave plenty of examples. I think you're confuzing "sympathetic" and "tragic". Sympathetic villains are antagonist who're relatible even though they're villainous by nature. Tragic is another thing completely. Tragic villains are antagonists who gone through some horrible things, but not all of them can justify themself. You can say that any villain with a valid freudian exuse is tragic. The question is if that exuse played for sympathy or for horror.
