I don't understand: why do you say such of Toriel? (I mean that in complete sincerity; not trying to be sarcastic.)

As for my response: Asgore is, deep down, on the side of Good. He clearly expresses that he doesn't want to kill Frisk, giving the child several chances to back out before their battle. And he was attempting to free his people.

The problem was, he had been driven mad by the deaths of two of the people he loved the most: his own son, and Chara. That madness seemed to me to blind him to the fact that what he was doing was wrong, and attempting to find another way of lifting the barrier instead of killing.

I wouldn't say that puts him completely in the clear by any means, but I see it as preventing him from being completely evil either.
