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.

Sherrie here:

Yet isn't one of Dumbledore's titles "Chief Warlock of the Wizengamot"?  
Unless that's just a VERY archaic title, it would seem to imply a more positive 
connotation of the word...
