Potterverse Secret Code revisited

Well, it took me a while, but I've taken Melody's (I think that's who thought this up) secret code based on vowels and run with it.  I do love secret codes.  However, I've made a few changes.  Here are the new rules:

1) You must use the fullest known form of each person's name, you can't pick and 
    choose a first or last name.
2) You cannot assume a name is a nickname and choose another name unless canon 
    supports it (i.e. Ron becomes Ronald but Bill does not become William, etc.)
3) Y is counted as a vowel

And here is how the code works:

An even number of vowels in the full name constitute good.
An odd number of vowels in the full name constitutes evil.

There are, however, some exceptions.  Evil isn't always evil.  It's sometimes a good person who inadvertantly aids evil.  Same thing for good.  Could be that a person who was really bad "messes up" and aids the good side unintentionally.

I'll go through as many names as I can think of here:
Name (# of vowels) good/evil

Harry Potter (4) good
Hermione Granger (6) good
Ronald Weasley (6) good
Arthur Weasley (6) good
Molly Weasley (6) good
Bill Weasley (5) evil
Charlie Weasley (7) evil
Percy Weasley (6) good
Fred Weasley (5) evil
George Weasley (7) evil
Ginny Weasley (6) good

Let me stop and elaborate before the Weasley fans shoot me.  :)  Don't get me wrong, I love the Weasleys.  I'd have preferred to have Percy evil.  But alas, he's come out good.  Which confirms that he will come back to good even if he does "go bad." Of course.  ;)  Now, I see Fred and George as very likely the type who may get into some sort of mischief that through no intentional evil aids the side of evil.  Bill and Charlie we really don't know well enough to work that out yet.

Colin Creevey (6) good
Draco Malfoy (5) evil
Neville Longbottom (6) good
Parvati Patil (5) evil
Padme Patil (4) good
Pansy Parkinson (5) evil
Marcus Flint (3) evil
Oliver Wood (5) evil (once again, maybe not of his choosing, but alas)
Albus Dumbledore (6) good
Minerva McGonagall (6) good
Flitwick (2) good
Sybil Trelawney (6) good
Alastor Moody (6) good
Remus Lupin (4) good
Gilderoy Lockhart (6) good
Cornelius Fudge (6) good
Bartemius Crouch Junior (9) evil
Bartemius Crouch Senior (9) evil [again, maybe he didn't have evil intentions, but he 
    made a REALLY big mistake.  Definitely aided the side of evil.]
Ludovic Bagman (5) evil
Rita Skeeter (5) evil
Igor Karakaroff (5) evil
Evan Rosier (5) evil
Lestrange (3) evil
Macnair (3) evil
Mulciber (3) evil
Antonion Dolohov (7) evil
Lily Potter (4) or if you like Lily Evans Potter (6) good
James Potter (4) good
Tom Marvolo Riddle (6) good [Ah, remember he begin to think of himself as 
    Voldemort long before he dropped out of sight, but I do think he was born good]
Voldemort (3) odd
Sirius Black (4) good
Cedric Diggory (5) evil.  Ah, here's where I first got stuck.  BUT, if you go by the 
    inadvertantly aiding evil theory, it works.  He did aid Voldemort in getting Harry 
    to the graveyard. By refusing to take the cup alone.  Good intentions, but alas.]
Lucius Malfoy (6) good???  Well, maybe he will make a big mistake somewhere along 
    the way and aid the side of good.  Can't be just the "good" guys who make 
    mistakes.
Peter Pettigrew (5) evil
Rubeus Hagrid (5) evil.  Yep, Hagrid will blunder and give away valuable information 
    to the evil side.  Technically, he's already done it.  (how to calm Fluffy)

So, there you have it.  I really must be nuts. :)
