I read the novel too, but unless someone can solve two or three things, I will stick to believing Hans is not a villain unless Disney says so.

If Hans really is a villain, or can even be considered one, can you or anyone explain this conversation in page 172 (or 173)?:

"Calm yoùrself," counseled Hans. "Princess Anna has given her orders."

The Duke went on. "Has it dawned on you that your princess may be conspiring with a wicked sorceress to destroy us all?"

"Do not question the princess," Hans responded forcefully. "She left me in charge, and I will not hesitate to protect Arendelle from treason."

What about what he said in page 174 where Anna's horse came back without her, where he assumed Anna was in trouble, thus assuming Elsa did something to her? Anna did say to him after she went to him that Elsa froze her heart, and that she was wrong on Elsa not harming her. That brings me to conclude that Hans misunderstood and did not know all the facts, which was my conclusion before I read the novel. And was he not guilty at the end. He said in shock "B-but she froze your heart."

Only if Anna's horse did not run away, and if Anna did not tell Hans that Elsa struck her with her powers (which Elsa did not directly do but only wanted Anna to go), Hans would not have assumed Elsa did something to Anna (because Anna was not on the horse), and Hans would not have wanted to kill Elsa.

And the fact that he was guilty at the at end makes me think of reformation.
