Bound for the Straight Road I see, Fordim?
Congrats.
I was initially avoiding this thread, because I thought it must have been about the Dwarf-fathers, but I'm happy to see that this time I'm wrong. 
This is an extremely interesting idea. And one I'll certainly have to think about more before posting anything terribly well informed, but for now there are a few more fathers, more or less "good guys" who don't do well on your fatherhood scale.
Hurin, while the curse on his children wasn't his fault, and perhaps he'd have been a great father if he'd been able to be around while they were growing up, I'm under the distinct impression that Turin might have turned out a whole lot better had he not wound up in Thingol's court as a fosterson.
Feanor, look what happened to his kids! And mostly due to his direct influence.
