The only character who is morally ambiguous is Snape. I think it can be more interesting than that.

Well I would have to say that the Malfoys could be seen as somewhat morally ambiguous, at least Narcissa, and a little less so, Draco. Probably not Lucius. Narcissa is the one who is asked by Voldemort to check on Harry, and make sure he is dead. She whispers to him while checking on him, asking if her son is still OK and in the castle. Harry whispers back that he is, and Narcissa stands up and announces Harry is dead. This probably saves him from being checked by someone else, someone who would have run him through with a knife or whatnot. It is self serving in a way, she just wants her son safe, but she does act in a way to save Harry (for a little while longer anyway).

Draco cannot bring himself to outright identify Harry and his friends when they are first brought to Malfoy Manor, he keeps saying things like "maybe, yeah" and such. During the big battle he does try to get the Death Eaters to recognize him, saying he is on their side. Back in book 6 HBP, he couldn't bring himself to outright kill Dumbledore, as Dumbledore himself predicted and counted on, and saying Draco's soul is not yet so torn as to be capable of that. So he does more flip-flopping, but you can see there is at least some struggle internally.
