Intrinsically Good magic

Are these intrinsically good? They are certainly used for good in 
the examples we've seen but that doesn't mean they could not be used 
for evil. Most of the counter examples I can think of (in the real 
world, not the WW) are too contentious for a late night post.

One of the reasons we may not have seen these forms of magic used 
for evil may be that Voldy is not a very rousing leader. Often evil 
leaders through history have been inspiring, and have commanded the 
kind of respect (and fear, granted) that promotes sacrifice and even 
life-debts. But the minute Voldy is gone, the fear, his sole tool of 
office, is gone too.

Cheers,

Dumbledad.
