Actually, if we go with "die hard Doctor fans will defend him [as a good guy]" then I'm going to have to disagree. The first Doctor was almost explicitly a neutral character. So were most of the classic Doctor's - they had a rather ambiguous morality.
I was only in the last few (say, the last three or four) Doctors that he's started being 'the good guy'. And that's probably because producers don't think audiences will like anyone but a good guy as a protagonist.
That was one of the things I really liked about 11 - they brought him back to being more alien and more morally ambiguous.
