Why is it we mourn the death of a bad guy?

In my previous post, I showed my destain at the death of the Alpha Vamp. I felt this way over Cain's death; over Zachariah's death, Death's death and as far back as YED's Death. Such characters leave an imprint on me, and I guess many others. So I guess that the writers have done their job in shocking us to the core. Indeed they have!

Normally they are only in the plot for a short time, which I think makes their demise much more significant, having such an impact. That actor only has such a short window in which to show us his talent. So I here myself thinking again they've done their job. They've left such a lasting impression on me.

So why is it we mourn the bad guys when they are really the bad guys in the story?
