those with a propensity toward evil do, in any case!

Again, it's a matter of choices. In the first chapter of PS/SS, McGonagall 
tells Dumbledore he's just as powerful as Voldemort, he's just too noble to 
use those powers. There are those who achieve power by trampling on others to 
get to the top. And others who get there by being boosted by those whom 
they've helped along the way. I have no doubt that the forces of good will 
triumph by the end of the series.
