Very interesting topic!
I agree with what has been said. Smaug's conversation with Bilbo hints that he is a dragon capable of philosophical discussion and intrigue. He's a clever beast, but it doesn't make him good. He does not use it to ponder about the world, he uses it to destroy that which is not in his immediate possession.
However, I also agree that there is not enough information on dragons out there to prove or disprove free will and a chance of goodness in dragons.
