I have always liked it so much for the way that some of the most selfish people are some of the best without necessarily becoming less selfish: Torquil, Awful, Hathaway. They're not selfish-horrid like Venturus or Shine, but they don't have reformation arcs. They're selfish people who can feel love and make sacrifices for others, as opposed to nothing but self-glorification.
