While I agree that Chara did manipulate Asriel, maybe they didn't manipulate him purposely out of some sort of spite. Asriel did over idolize Chara, maybe at that time, he refused to see or more likely didn't recognise the faults in their plan. Also, it is heavily implied that Chara's life before falling down wasn't happy, while Asriel on other hand led a pretty comfortable life with loving parents. Maybe he gained if not too much respect towards Chara out of guilt and simply went along with everything they say instead of thinking for himself.

No matter what caused Chara's haterd for humanity, their plan was still wrong, but I doubt they saw themselves as evil. While they probably had some spite towards humanity, they migh have wanted to do Monsters a favor, too. However, even if they succeeded, nothing good would come out of it.

It was Chara's fault in a first place for provocating humans into attacking them, but once mistake was made Asriel should have at least defended them somehow. We're forgetting that they were both very young and kept most of their plan secret to everyone, even their parents. It is likely that neither of them expected their plan to be much more complicated than it seemed. Sadly, their plan was fatal for both of them as well as for Monsters they wanted to save...
