I think Harry's 'dark side' corresponds approximately to an unfriendly AI. It's not evil, just very creative. Or, put another way, it can be horrifyingly indifferent to the goals of regular Harry when constructing its plans, and can sacrifice important things without thought on its way to completing the goal.
