There are many concepts of good and bad in the series, but one of the overall messages is that "good" and "bad" aren't so easily defined.
The Dursleys can be considered evil, they abused Harry and never cared about him. In contrast, Hagrid could be considered good because he did care about Harry. Yet the Dursleys didn't need to take him in, so they cannot be considered completely evil. Hagrid also cannot be considered completely good since he did give Dudley a pigs tail when he didn't really do anything wrong.
Draco Malfoy and Severus Snape can also be considered evil. They take an instant dislike to Harry and bully him.
Harry and Ron are good characters, but they both upset Hermione Granger and weren't overly nice to her before they became friends.
Lord Voldemort is the antagonist and sets out to kill hurt people. Professor Quirrell aids him in doing so.
Albus Dumbledore is another good character, although we find out in later books that he has many dark secrets.

Harry realizes his feelings towards Ginny: Good
Ginny returns those feelings: Good
Harry and Dumbledore discover the secret to defeating Voldemort: Good
Innocent students almost being killed (Ron Weasley and Katie Bell): Bad
Voldemort creating horcruxes: Bad
Snape killing Dumbledore: Bad
Harry retreiving a fake version of Voldemorts horcrux from the cave: Bad
Those are pretty much the main events of the book.

HP is filled to the brim with imagery: Voldermort has a pet snake, nagini (symbol of deceit and treachery) In the 5th movie, Deatheaters fly around in trails of black, while order of the Phoenix guys fly around in white In the early books, good and evil are very separated (see the world in white and black), all the bad guys use 'unforgivable curses', whereas in the later books, Harry himself uses Imperio on that goblin, showing there are no moral absolutes Peter Petigrue is a rat, symbolising his pathetic, tell tale nature the list goes on and on
What are the moral lessons of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban?

What can you infer about 'Harry Potter'?
Warning. If you're thinking about reading this series, this answer contains spoilers.It's one of the most classic stories about the triumph of good over evil.Harry Potter deals with real world issues today such as racism, and false media. Muggle-born wizards (wizards born from non-magical parents) are discriminated against throughout the series, but Harry and his friends fight against this unlawful act and eventually Muggle-borns are accepted by all. False media is presented by the way the government is making up stories about Harry in order to turn everyone against him. While Harry is fighting for justice, the government uses the media to make him seem unstable because of him losing his parents at such a young age (the age of one years old). By the end of the books Harry defeats the evil Lord Voldemort and the wizarding world is peaceful once more. The moral of the story is "Love conquers all" because Voldemort believes that love is silly and he is practically unable to love himself. (He has an entire background story that tells us why that is in the sixth book) Harry is surronded by the love of his friends constantly throughout the book and uses that to defeat Voldemort. Voldemort's inability to love is practically thrown back at him in the last book when he finds out that his right-hand-man had been working against him the entire time, because of (you guessed it) his love for a certain person. So, yeah. It's a pretty amazing series. It teaches life lessons, has a great moral, and is written by the extremely talented J.K. Rowling.

Would don't always want always wish in your heart be the perfect moral for Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone?
There isn't just one moral in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, there are many. "Don't always want, always wish in your heart" refers mostly the to plot surrounding the Mirror of Erised, a mirror that shows your hearts deepest desire. Harry sees his parents alive and well in the mirror, something he can never have. He becomes obsessed with watching them until Dumbledore tells him the Mirror is moving, and then he cant's stop thinking about it. When discussing this, Dumbledore says that "it does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live." There is nothing wrong with wanting something, but it is important to be realistic.
What stage of moral reasoning do the children in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone appear to be in?
Throughout the book, Harry Potter and Ron Weasley are eleven years old and Hermione Granger is twelve years old. The characters tend to be at level 2 - Conventional Mortality. But also show signs of their development into the third stage as they realise that sometimes, rules have to be broken to save something else. For example, saving the philosopher's stone is much more important than staying in past curfew and Hermione even curses Neville Longbottom to allow them to go ahead.
