Maybe something that can throw a completely different light on this is the TV-series "Pushing Daisies" (think of this as a romanticalromantic comedy series). Here, the protagonist has the power to raise a dead person back to life by touching the corpse once. If he touches the corps a second time, the person dies again and can not be resuscitated again by the protagonist.

There is one trick to it though: if a person is risen from the dead, but not touched again (died a second time) within a limited amount of time (30 seconds in the series), one random soul dies in the vicinity (can be an animal as welwell).

This brings up several dilemmas (such as not being able to touched a loved one if you've resurrected him/her) but also opportunities (solving murder cases).

In this case they skip very lightly over death (I described it as a romantic comedy, can't do that if there's too much darkness overhead), but some of the problems related with "necromancy", especially this special case, are touched. As for an answer to your question: in this series they do not frown upon "necromancy", and the character is most definitely not an evil protagonist.
