I don't really see Ingrid as a villain. In my opinion, villains have evil ways to get to their evil goal. Example: Cora wanted power over other people (evil goal) and was prepared to kill anyone in her way (evil way). A hero is someone who has a good goal and uses good ways to get there. Example: Emma wanted to save everyone in Storybrooke (good goal) and even didn't want Ingrid to sacrifice herself for it (good way). What I would call Ingrid is an anti-hero. I believe an anti-hero is someone who has a good goal, but has evil ways to get there. Ingrid just wanted to be loved by her sisters. I wouldn't say that was an evil goal. But using the Spell of Shattered Sight to kill everyone in Storybrooke to get to that goal, is pretty evil, so that's why I would call her neither hero nor villain, but an anti-hero...

(And in case you were wondering: I don't think you can use good ways to achieve an evil goal. I think I would call that a supervillain, because that would be so creepy. But if you guys come up with something like that, let me know XD)
