also Bank Manager is said to barely count because of the way he bullied the children over a coin and when he fired their father he made a point to publically humiliate him first, going as far as smashing his hat and umbrella (or rather getting a henchman to do it since he was incredibly frail) : he was also, supposedly, a symbolism of the harsh "grown up" world versus the fantasy "child" world and thus stood against the morals of the movie.

I still view him as very mild for a Disney villain, though I suppose given the nature of the movie they had to.. some stories don't suit traditional "evil" types.
