I don't remember anywhere where Veelas were listed as specifically  
Dark.  Also, "Dark" =/= "allied with Voldemort"---the Blacks started  
thinking that Lord Thingy was getting a little out of hand, at least  
according to Sirius.

If Veelas were Dark Creatures, would Fleur have been eligible for the  
Triwizard Tournament?  I'd think that Karkaroff, to name one, would  
have been howling about it.
