This is a common misunderstanding resulting from trying to mash the 3e alignment system into the 4e alignment system. In 3e, an alignment is a quality all characters posses, and is the result of their behaviors and beliefs. In 4e, an alignment is an in-character choice; an explicit statement on the character's part that they are going to attempt to behave in a specific manner. Any character who has not explicitly decided to devote themselves to an alignment is unaligned.

Turning to OotS for examples, Belkar and Haley(before the party reunited) would probably both be unaligned in 4e. Neither of them had really made a big decision on how to behave; they just act as comes naturally to them. Contrast Roy, who went to Fighter College specifically because he wanted to protect the weak, and Redcloak, who partially defines himself by his decision to oppose the forces of Good.
