It's practically cliche to make the audience feel a villains pain. Sometimes it's so freaking hackneyed its funny rather than sad, though. Here, we talk about the ones that aren't like that.
Right off the bat, Cujo. They made it clear that all he did wrong was have a shitty owner; until he went rabid he was basically Scooby Doo minus the appetite.

Mr. Rooney. He just wanted Ferris (who was a huge douchebag anyway) to get a damn education.

Mister Freeze obviously
Magneto has his moments (holocaust survivor and irony of becoming everything that he hated). Mostly during the Claremont years, but not during the Morrison years *shudders*

Hard to tell if he even counts anymore, but Ice King he is basically the only likable character in the whole show to me, so I agree.

A couple more that came to mind was Cujo and Brundlefly. That scene where Brundlefly uses his last ounce of strength to point Genna Davis' gun towards his own head was one of the saddest things I've ever seen.

Plankton. He needed to build a computer for female companionship for god sakes. And nobody gives his restaurant a chance.

-Magneto in the films. in the comics, not so much (to this day I still don't buy his face turn at all and thought it was refreshing that Morrison actually let him be the bad guy for once).
-Jason Todd when he first came back. while it made sense that Batman never went after the Joker, the fact that nobody else did either would've been infuriating.

I'd say Jason Voorhees is to a certain degree. He's basically a little kid in a brute's body. At times during the series they really tried to hammer home the fact that he was this hermit/manchild who seen the only person in the world who cared for him get murdered which sets him off.

Redcloak from Order of the Stick is a speciest, ruthless, and often cruel military goblin priest who has many sins to his name.
However considering how depressing his backstory was, how crappy his and by extenuation the goblin's lives are, and how the universe is basically stacked against his kind, I find it impossible to not on some level empathize with his goals and motivations.

He also has one of the most creepily badass scenes in webcomics.

It always bugged me that they used his electronic voice when he wasn't in his suit at the end their. and let's not forget they decided to destroy all of his sympathy in the new 52. -_-
