My interpretation is that a Wizard is general a good person, a warlock is someone who is a little suspect.  Same with Witch and Hag.  

But as I read more of the books I began to wonder if Hag and Warlock are Witches and Wizards that may have not received a public school education (like Hogwarts), but were homeschooled.  Making them a lower class of magic user.

Actually I am going to have to think about this a little more, because now I am very curious.
