History is only as good as the accuracy of your sources. Sargaras corrupting the Eredar or vice versa? Who knows for sure? Maybe there's a little truth to both. Maybe the bulk of the Eredar were immoral to begin with and their relationship with Sargaras snowballed the evil corruption process both ways except for a handful who jumped off the train before it got out of control.
A historical analogy. History teaches you the Nazis were evil. They helped bring hitler to power and supported his plans of Genocide, or did he singlehandedly turn a nation of good people towards evil? Either way, is it inconceivable that during that process some Germans who didn't like the way things were going tried to get the hell out?
The Drenai being allied with the forces of the light is no harder to swallow than some of the Orcs being not so bad morally in WC3&WoW after seeing them in WC1&2. I like moral complexity in lore and Heterogenious moral strengths amongst individual members of a race myself. :D
