Anakins turn in Star Wars is the best example of the wrong way of doing it.

To start off thanks for those who replied to my earlier message before. I want to run another concept by you all.
The "hero" of the story starts out typically, but goes from hero to anti-hero to being the villain that the world originally perceived. How does that go for you all?
And the perceived villain goes from being the villain to the unexpected hero.

Though, if it's done poorly, it's irritating. The transition has to both make sense, and be exciting. If the hero goes evil for no reason other than plot convenience, it's bad. Very bad. Also, if it makes sense, but is telegraphed so thoroughly that we know it's going to happen and there's no shock when it finally does, that's also bad... very bad.
Another question for the board....regarding "heroes"

That said, the reason behind his being what he was was horribly executed.

When Snape addresses his love interest with the most vile slur imaginable?

No deatheaters. It's just common at Hogwarts to show love through verbal abuse. *NM*
