Well technically a hero by proxy isn't necessarily a redeemed villain, sometimes it means that they were just normal people but then they were forced instead of willingly. An example of this would be aang since he didn't want to be the avatar, but because the monks forced him he had to be a hero. Plus just because a villain is in villain by proxy or a hero is a hero by proxy doesnt mean they can't be pure of heart or complete monster, but that's only if they start getting used to it, again an example of this would be aang since he didn't want to be a hero, but he got used to it as the series went by. But don't get me wrong, I'm not saying he was a jerk or anything( he was a minor jerk in some occasions, such as when he ignores katara but it was only because hes a child and children have been known to be ignorant from time to time.)
