Uh huh. Here's the problem with this argument; Homer may have done bad things, but his actions and personality aren't consistantly villainous between episode to episode. From your first example, he had no intentions of ruining the lives of everyone in Springfield, sure, that's what he did, but he didn't intend to do so. In some of those other examples, he may have broke the law, but either he had no idea he was doing so or was not aware of a law that prevented him from what he was doing, and even then, he still had no malicious intentions. Now, if Homer did any of these things with a true desire to hurt, kill and otherwise break the law, he likely would qualify as a villain if he did these sort of things on a regular basis, and not just in one or two episodes.
