Dolores Umbridge is. She's among some of the nastiest characters in the whole series (along with Fenrir Greyback (ew)). In some ways, she was definitely more sinister than Voldemort.
Of all the Voldemort actors, British actor Ralph Fiennes is the Thespian most widely associated with the role. First appearing in 2005's The Goblet of Fire, Fiennes would go on to make the villainous role iconic, appearing in each of the remaining Harry Potter films in varying capacities.
Albus Dumbledore is the most obvious person who can defeat Voldemort, outside of the Salazar Slytherin vs Voldemort debate, and the Dark Lord seemed to realize it. Rowling herself has explicitly stated in the books that Dumbledore is the only person Voldemort fears and recognizes as a genuine threat to his own power.
As Voldemort was a half-blood, he chose his "equal", Harry, whose mother was a Muggle-born witch, instead of Neville, who came from a long line of pure-blooded wizards.
Delphini, nicknamed Delphi, is the titular main antagonist of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. Although she initially introduces herself as the niece of Amos Diggory, Delphi is in fact, the child of Lord Voldemort and Bellatrix Lestrange and has only one goal, restoring her father.

In the books, Pansy Parkinson has a schoolgirl crush on Draco, and they went together to the Yule Ball. However, there was no true love between them. In the Cursed Child, Draco Malfoy's wife is Astoria Greengrass. Later, after Astoria's death, Draco says that he would “sell [his] soul for another minute with Astoria.”
Under the influence of her father, Dolores grew up despising her mother and brother for their lack of magical abilities. She was sorted into Slytherin House at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and hated her time at the school due to never being given any positions of power.
Snape was born to Eileen Prince, a witch, and Tobias Snape, a Muggle, making him a half-blood (hence the name, "Half-Blood Prince"). This is rare for a Death Eater, as remarked in the last book, though Voldemort himself also had a Muggle father.
Severus Snape's nickname, the Half-Blood Prince, was a clever description of his half-blood lineage. Snape chose the name as a tribute to his mother and to distance himself from his muggle father, drawing an interesting parallel between this character and Lord Voldemort.
