Hermione_loves_ROn; if dark isn't the same as evil, what's then?

"According to JK Rowling werewolves and centunar are half humans. That old Umbridge lady tried to make all half human register. It's in the history Order of the Phoenix."

"Well I was reffering to Centars. But I think Werewolfs should be considered human, because they don't want to be werewolves, obviously. And they are actual humans most of the time. They just have a 'defect' like if someone lost there arm they'd have a 'defect' but they'd still be human"

dark is worse than evil. "Says who? Dark just contains the potential to do bad. Evil is someone who does bad things without guilt, mercilessly. | |

"But the fact still remains that a good part of their life is spent as an animal." Katie says.
"I'm not calling them dark or evil, Im just saying that they shouldnt be classified as pure human."

"Please... let's not get off topic. I'm hearing lots of good questions, and I wish that our class wasn't moving so quickly that I am not able to get to them before we veer off onto another interesting tangent. I think you're beginning to get the picture about what I meant when I said there is a very fine line between Dark and acceptable.
"As for the issue of vampires and werewolves, no, I do NOT think that they are dark all the time. But there is a dark magic that works within them at certain times. A werewolf would be the first to tell you that there is an intent to harm and spread the "disease" that comes out on the full moon. They are not intrinsically Dark, but the magic is there. The Ministry chooses to classify them as Dark... who am I to argue?" The professor shrugged good naturedly.
"I realize also that there are creatures not on the list that you believe should be there. This really is a better question to be bringing to Professor Hendrik in your Care of Magical Creatures class... what is it in their survival needs that might cause them to act in a way that brings harm to Muggles and wizards?
"Now... I'd like to give you your homework assignment. If you have any questions that went unanswered, I will be around for a while after class, and I would love to discuss with you. We had a very short class today, but I feel that we covered what was needed. Things should slow down a bit for our next classes.
"By next class, I want you to owl me (email me ONLY, no PMs) with a paragraph about what you know already about the Dark Arts. A paragraph should have between 8 to 12 sentences. I would also like any topics or concepts you would like covered in one of our classes.
"Class dismissed."

I think it would be interesting to have a conversation with a centaur, until it starts to dislike me.

"Professor? Isn't there a creature called Nundu? Isn't it rather dark and/or evil? Or is it one of those that may seem evil, but its not?"

"Well now that i hear all these opinions, I'm starting to think of somthing else. Maybe each individual should choose how they want to be clasiffied, I mean it's their body, and there problem, so shouldn't it be their moral choice?"

A werewolf is suffering from an illness that isn't Dark. Werewolves, I think are included in the study of DADA mainly because other wizards don't want to become one. It's an infection, in some way just like a cold but of that can't cured at this moment. The Wolfbane potion has gone a long way into improving the lives of werewolves.

"Everything has the potential to be evil," Ashlie said to them all. "You can force anything to be evil, it all depends on how you use it. Spells. Creatures. People. We all can be good or evil. But we with intelligence must also choose." | |

I think one of the problems we have with centaurs is that we, humans, are sometimes to full of ourselves to be told we are wrong by a creature not of our species. Some people take it as an insult; so then they dislike the centaurs and might say something rude to them.
