Aside from the VoS, the Dawnguard never occurred to me as bad guys like Volkihar vampires were. They didn't keep human cattle, most of the Dawnguard are genuine good guys save the leader who's hatred of vampires is justified given the fact they are the byproduct of the king of rape and the only thing more evil than Sithis himself. It kind of felt unsatisfyingWhat could there have been done to make the Dawnguard a more morally questionable faction so it doesn't become a black and white struggle. I mean with Knights of The Nine you are the reincarnate of Pelinal Whitestrake who we know have a less than stellar reputation. So Dawnguard could have benefitted from being a secret pact between Meridia and Arkay as an excuse to wage war against Molag Bal's servants, hence the secrecy of the group as if people had known Meridia had given Arkay's followers knowledge of defeating Molag Bal there will be blood on the streets
