I think it is important to not leave the audience (reader/viewer) feeling confused or muddy. As long as real right and wrong are clearly portrayed–nit only portrayed, but given emotional backing–I don’t see a problem with morally grey characters. To get specific, I think that to have a really “protagonistic” protagonist they need to fall on the right side of the moral line, at least by the end of the story.
