Well, in Goblet of Fire's defense, Mad Eye Moody is actually a good guy. It just happened to be that a bad dude was parading around using his likeness for a while. He'll be back in the following movies, as a goodie.
I think the only movies where you're going to see really ugly heroes is where it's a major plot point, rather than a last minute add on. In the most well known tales of deformed heroes, like Phantom of the Opera (though Erik's not a terribly convincing hero), Hunchback of Notre Dame and Beauty and the Beast, the primary focus is that the character is outcast from society and falls in love with a woman who cannot love them in return. And as interesting as that is, I don't know if I could take another rehashing of that old tried and true plot.
But as far as hoping Tom Cruise will dawn a fake hump and a limp for his next action flick, or an acid-burned Will Smith romantic comedy, don't hold your breath. Movies like that are merely Hollywood vehicles to show off A-listers in all of their professional-trained, airbrushed, Prada-wearin' glory. And heaven forbid anything tarnish that.
