No, I really don't see Chernabog as the black fairy. He really is a hellspawn.

But I guess what they meant with that they only intended to release the fairies, they just released everything inside of it. Nobody knew the Apprentice was in the hat, so I guess he is out as well along with Blue and the others.

Side note: seeing as Chernabog was trapped in the hat must mean that he was too strong to be taken down by the Sorcerer. But at leas the theory of Chernabog being the original Dark One is almost gone now.
