I think the vain struggle against fate, and the circumstance that all valour turns out ill is vital enough to a definition of tragic to qualify Húrin.
His steadfastness was it that brought the curse upon his kin, his slaying of Mîm and the involvement in the tale of the Nauglamîr spawned the ruin of Doriath.

On an off-topic note, I never knew you were Odysseus, Turambar (I probably just missed that, were you a 'victim' of the forum move to UBB?). Either way, you probably should get a custom title by now... let's see to that.
