She's not evil, but she's certainly not perfect.

Much as we ourselves.
Personally, I don't know that I would go to the lengths to call Galadriel 'evil', though she could be tempted, as she was when Frodo offered her the One Ring. She was not immune from that temptation, but she resisted it. That shows strength of character.
The reason that she flaunted her powers and possibly was somewhat obsessive about preserving Lothlorien might have just been from the fact that she was the only wielder of those rings who had been an elf living in Aman and perhaps she wanted to keep a semblance of perfection like what she had had there. Perhaps she was trying to guard against downfall, that she didn't want to lose what she had in ME like she had lost what she had in Aman when she left, even though it proved futile. Again, this is all speculation on my part, so feel free to refute it however you wish. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
