I think that was the point of Light's character. To show how a protagonist who we could intiallity root for due to having good intentions slowly get corrupted by the power of the death note and see themselves as a good inflicting divine justice and killing anyone who gets in the way of that justice. He was a really complex villain for that time, which is why I dislike how TV Tropes and this site as a CM/PE, as there is a layer of tragedy to his descent which I don't think should be underminded. Even if he shedded his good qualities in the end he still had the goal of making the world a better place.
