I do not think he fits in "Misanthropes" and "Obsessed". He does not display outright hatred towards his fellow humans and desire to destroy them all, merely (so to speak) utter disdain stemming from his immense egomania, and seems content to let live those fitting his twisted indeals and faithful to him. Also, as I said in the discussion page, his obsession with killing Harry stems from his obsession with power: he wants to prove to the entire world that he is mightier and restore his undefeatable image. And the category states "villains obsessed by something other than power and control". But I might be overreacting
