Ok fair enough, but I think it is equally valid to interpret the respect shown to the two characters you mention as appropriate deference to the source of one's power, and appropriate deference to a very powerful creature, who is also a fellow 'reptillian'. It need not have anything to do with alignment. With the OotS, he is most antagonistic towards their one Evil member, so again I'm not sure we can draw conclusions about the Oracle's alignment from who he respects/is snarky to.

The rest of the discussion on neutrality and Evil and the Draketooths is pretty interesting, but veering to close to morally justified for my tastes.
