I dunno if Eru really had a genuinely evil part...like I said in the discussion string about the dwarves and aule etc each of the Valar was the spawn of a different part of Eru's mind, and therefore only when they came together could they create the world. Anyway, I dont reckon he was from an evil part of Eru's mind, maybe from a cunning part, or the part that desires power, because we know that Eru did want power, and for everyone to worship him. I reckon Morgoth was from that part, but because he was able to think for himself, as all the valar were, he realised that the best way to gain his own power was through evil.
