Yes, Esme is definitely a person to look up to. Why, she has so many desirable qualities which don't include greediness. I think she was talking about Eseme, Esme's evil twin. You know, the one talking about "in" things all the time? All right, I'll stop.
I voted for Beatrice because I love the idea of loving something you shouldn't.

Hector would be it if it happened.

Personally, I think it is Quigley. Because I don't really like Quigley.  |

probably either quigley (because he seems to know too much), phil (because no one is that optimistic), or Mr. Poe (because I don't trust him )

Looks like it's theory time! He he, I'll stop.
Lemony- Absolutely not. I can't imagine a way he could be evil.
Quigley- Let's analyze the tenth book. Quigley seems to know way too much, as one poster said. Some of his dialog seems to be very suspicious, the ways he reacts to some situations and in others, the way he doesn't. He puzzles me very much, because some of his actions hints that he likes Violet, (There are about five I believe, but there is only one that I believe really counts, and that could just be Quigley acting, and that might not be the way he actually feels.), and there are some that indicate something is wrong.
Duncan- Possibly, but I hope not.
Isadora- Again, Possibly.
Beatrice- Oooh! I like the idea of Snicket's love being evil. I'm not sure how or why though.
Hector- Aah, possibly again. He might be hiding something, and on top of that self-sustaining balloon, who knows what he could do.
Kit- Well, we don't know that much about her, so it is entirely possible that out there in that taxi some "incident" will happen...
Others-
Mr. Poe- Someone who has been with the Baudelaires so long may just have the potential to be evil. He's in charge of the orphan's affairs, (At least...Sort of. The Baudelaire's ran from him in Book 11 anyway,) so he could use his power in a bad way.
Phil- Could be, but in the world of ASOUE, anything is possible. Someone could be that optimistic, just as Aunt Josephine was attacked by angry Realtors (A mention in book 11, I believe,) and now has a profound fear of them.
My opinions? Either Hector or Quigley, I suppose. More so Quigley, but I think he can overcome his "bad phase" with time. Then he'll have to admit his wrongdoings to the Baudelaires, and la-de-da, we have a good dramatic scene. I doubt Handler would write anything like that, but I believe something will turn up.

Qugley, I thought. There's something very, very fishy about him...

One of the turns the theme seems to be taking is that no one is inherently evil. Someone may do an act that seems evil to others, but in their own minds the act had a noble purpose. The Bauds themselves have done things that might be viewed by someone else as evil, but they saw as necessary under the circumstances. Part of "coming of age" is making decisions about actions and their consequences for yourself and for others.
That said, I'm voting for Beatrice. It's the most interesting theory, and there's no way to defend it!

Interesting theory about the "no one is truly evil" theme. I think that's supported by the Autobiography's index linking "noble causes" to "necessary evils" to "moral uncertainty". For a noble cause, one must sometimes commit necessary evils, and one person's definition of a noble cause isn't necessarily the same as another's.

My toilet... It's quite evil. It makes the most irritating noise in the morning and it reveals a putrid aroma at night. I'm just kidding. I have a weird feeling that Quigley may be up to no good but I think that calling him "evil" would be quite extreme. I just don't think he could be trusted by the way he's portrayed in Slippery Slope.

I think Quigley. Becasue he seems to know so much about the Baudelaires. Where is he getting all this information from? (Olaf? If not maybe just a V.F.D member he befriended?) So that is what I think!!

I voted Quigley. He just gives me this creepy feeling.

I personally think Mr Poe is evil. In Book The Eleventh, he says: "It's a shame to think that the Baudelaire fortune would have sat in the bank, gathering dust." Sounds to me like he wanted the Baudelaires to get at the fortune and keep it for himself.

I think that Fiona is truly evil. Not just "I have to stick with my family, so I guess I'll join the evil side" evil, but really evil. I think she was evil from the beginning and was simply masquerading as a nice person. Perhaps because she liked Klaus...

That would certainly be an interesting twist.
