I am writing a thesis on various aspects of the hero and the villain in the Harry Potter series.

Look for examples from books by Carl Jung.

Think of all the qualities of human beings and match them w/qualties of animals, Gods (Athena as a warrior, Pan as a Trickster and/or Thief), etc. You're probably making this too difficult.
