And Sauron was a victim too at one point I bet. Nothing is evil in the beginning.
But Feanor foresook any sympathy when he dragged a bunch of innocent elves to their deaths. The Sil states in no uncertain terms that Feanor in his speech motivating everyone to leave, was repeating Melkor's lies. His supposed great enemy fed him falsehoods and yet he chose to regurgitate them so as to gather an army to assail Melkor with. A nice disposable host of elves so he could reclaim his pretty gems.
The fact is Feanor did not lead the exodus of Valinor for any even vaguely noble end. Everything he told to his followers was a pack of lies and an excuse to get them to come with him and thus increase his chances of defeating Melkor.
I do hold him accountable for every elf who died after leaving the Blessed Realm because they died needlessly and for one elf's supreme selfishness.
