What then, could have changed this hubris (which most definately was present)? What caused it? I think its root is found in Hurin himself. Why was Hurin so proud? Perhaps because he was a renowned fighter. Perhaps because he was famed throughout Beleriand. Perhaps his lineage encouraged it. Who knows? All we know is that it was passed on to Turin, and it influenced Morwen. It is however, just as everything else, an effect of past decisions which we would never be able to trace.

Does Eru have prejudice against certain crimes that drive people to destruction? Is he more forgiving to the greedy than the arrogant?
