I think the most important thing about a villian's motive is that the villian didn't start out evil.

The villain in one of my stories is like that. He didn't start evil, he was really a good wizard in training. He was also very handsome. Then he had an accident and blamed it on his friend. The accident left him with a horribly scarred face and he wasn't experienced enough in magic to fix it all the way. This led to his social life falling apart because he was so hateful and secretive, which in turn led him to "the dark side" in his efforts to fix his life, which eventually became getting revenge on his friend whom he believed was to blam for everything bad that happened to him.
