That Morgoth was a bad lad.

This is the person who told Húrin that his family were at his mercy. Húrin then replied, 'You have none'.

To elaborate, the Introduction to The Children of Húrin has this to say about Húrin's experience as a prisoner of Morgoth:

Quote:

The torment that [Morgoth] devised for Húrin was 'to see with Morgoth's eyes'....if one were forced to look into Morgoth's eye he would 'see' (or receive in his mind from Morgoth's mind) a compellingly credible picture of events, distorted by Morgoth's bottomless malice; and if indeed any could refuse Morgoth's command, Húrin did not.

It goes on to say that Húrin wanted to look: to see what was happening to his kin, and also because he was proud enough to believe he could determine fact from lie out of what he saw.
