What's your opinion of writing a story in the PoV of a character who would normally be portrayed as the antagonist? Do you know any books that are written like this?
We normally call this an "antihero," don't we?

OH! So we're not talking about the POV for the entire book, right? Sorry, I'm having a special week.
Dunno if it's been mentioned yet, but Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog is a great musical from the POV of the eponymous supervillain antagonist. you really want him to win, even though he's actively working toward evil and being thwarted at every turn by the superhero Captain Hammer.
I could not overstate how profoundly intrigued I have always been with the idea of an antagonist main character and/or point of view. In John Milton's epic poem Paradise Lost, one might arguably sympathize with Satan, the antagonist par excellence. I am no Satanist by any means, but I have always been fascinated with Satan as a character and a villain.
