IMO, It should be the Christian hope that all be saved.
But, I also believe that knowing someone will possibly go to hell by all outward appearances (and feeling that would be justice), is not the same as hoping someone would go to hell.

Well put, HP.
And as for feeling it would be justice ... I think we can recognize there are some historical figures who probably did go to hell, as listed elsewhere on this thread, Adolf Hitler, & cetera.
The fires of hell ARE being stoked for the arrival of Osama Bin Laden, Saddam Hussein, and other monsters who have tortured, murdered, and massacred countless innocent people. To me, there's a line of demarcation between
1. recognizing / not being sorry that their ilk will die and go to Hell and bear eternal judgment for their sins
and
2. being chronically irritated by my neurotic supervisor who deserves a swift kick in the seat of the pants for spending all day everyday making everyone around her miserable
to the effect that I better not start hoping the common everyday little pests end up in hell too, because at that point I have crossed the line. I must not fail to pray for such.
