I thought magneto wore his " space hat" per sey, to keep professor out of his head. I have, though only watched those movies 1 time. Not my faves. In the end though to my recollection magneto does come around? I maybe mistaken?!
Yes, the helmet is protection from Charles Xavier's mental powers.
Magneto's really a fantastic character because he's been legitimately harmed. His family was killed and his own life was threatened, so to him the mutant question (an allegory for race/ethnicity) is existential, and that's why he is not forgiving, despite Charles' constant entreaties to make peace with non-mutants. He's been too traumatized and simply can't forgive. He won't ever put himself in a position of vulnerability ever again. As others have said, he's an anti-hero more than a villain, sort of like a Malcolm X kind of character.
George Soros is no Magneto. He's a straight up, stone-cold villain who sold out his own people to the camps. There's nothing sympathetic about him, nothing that makes his actions understandable under any normal morality.
