Well, without a doubt a warlock is a magical person. Hufflepuff Ernie
Mcmillan can track his ancestors back through several generations of
Warlocks (CoS), so I suppost by some standard that would make him a
warlock too. ...maybe.

The one thing I have noted, is that when ever warlocks are mentioned,
for example, Harry sees them in the Leaky Cauldron, they always seem
to be protrayed as very loud and rowdy, and perhaps a little dangerous. 

I'm not sure what that means, but I thought it worth pointing out.
