To me, Vogler was a cardboard character that they wrote in to provide a conflict in the season. Wilson stood up for House, but the whole thing...you know House won't get fired.
Tritter, on the other hand, had a personal vendetta (you know someone in his life was a drug addict). Although a lot of what he did on the show would have never happened in real life (taking over an empty office, looking through records without a warrant, not having a supervising officer), it happened on the show. What House was put through, between Tritter being an evil sonavabitch and House's own refusal to be reasonable, was awful. I was so glad when House yelled, "You sonavabitch!" I also LOVED the scene when Cuddy explodes at House when he's in jail.
Also, I've never know if House's apology to Wilson was sincere.

Oh I definitely agree with you here. There is a part of me that wants to read fic about whomever Tritter knew was a drug addict. My guess would be a sibling.
I also enjoyed Cuddy's explosion at House. She was badass in that scene.
I wasn't sure whether House's apology to Wilson was sincere or not either. Well, at the time I thought it was, due to the reluctance in House's delivery that didn't seem to be put on, and, as Wilson said, it wasn't necessary to House's plan. Why do you think it might not have been sincere? Perhaps so that Wilson would be so caught off guard that he wouldn't suspect what House was up to with "Voldemort"?
I don't particularly dislike either, as much as I dislike the effect they had on House's colleagues' behavior. Wilson and Cuddy were pretty unbearable during the Tritter arc IMO. However, if I had to pick one character I disliked more, it would be Vogler who seemed to want obedience for its own sake and not because it would benefit the hospital in any way

I can understand what you mean with regard to Tritter's motivations being more understandable than Vogler's. I do think that Vogler's was more power driven, obedience for its own sake, as you say, whereas Tritter's seemed more to be based in revenge for House's cruel actions.
Vogler wanted to do something good to honor his father who had Alzheimer's Disease. The problem with Vogler was that he was a businessman and tried to run the hospital like a business and wanted to use patients in his drug trials. I thought Vogler and House were similar in that Vogler's dad gave him money for college. Vogler took the money and invested it in a company so he defied his father (didn't follow the rules) and became a huge success. House took great delight in breaking rules
( ... )
I thought that Tritter was actually more sympathetic than Vogler in many ways (but that's probably because I don't admire businessmen). He is the Javert of the House universe. He was trying to put someone away that he believed to be dangerous and became obsessed with that goal. He was, imo, JUST LIKE HOUSE in his willingness to do whatever it took to win (put away a criminal vs. save a patient).
