Betsy Hp:
You prove my point.  Why do we know Voldemort is bad?  Well, look at 
his *actions*.  Until HBP Draco doesn't have any actions to look at 
because Voldemort is taking a time out.  But he can take a look at 
the actions of Harry and his friends.  And there ain't nothing there 
pointing a big neon sign saying "these are the good guys".  
Generally, if you've branded someone's face, or tortured someone 
significantly weaker than you, you're not wearing a white hat.
