When reading a series like Harry Potter, you are always well aware that anything is possible. Even from the very first book, it is clear that Rowling is not afraid to create plot twists and complicated storylines that surprise the readers time and time again.

So when the books first came out, and nobody knew how they were going to end, fans speculated about each and every character's fate, who was going to live and who would not survive, who was going to be revealed as evil, and who will forever remain good and loyal.

The question of who would turn to the dark side was probably the most interesting one. Characters were constantly moving from one side to the other, even canonically, so there was no character you knew for sure was on the good side. This is exactly the inspiration for this Reddit thread, in which Harry Potter fans discuss which character could have convincingly turned to the dark side.
