Maybe this would be a good time to define "anti-hero". I'd say its a notable person who has no heroic features (ie. bravery, or someone who is completely noble). I agree with your take on Vito Corleone, Turnbull, that Vito was "out for himself", and because of that I WOULD consider him to be an anti-hero.
