Templeton the rat was in a sense a villian and a hero in Charolettes Web. He was a villian because he didn't want to help Wilbur at all unless there was something in it for him such as slops. Templeton was also the one that scared Wilbur because he told him that he was going to become bacon or sausage. I think that Templeton never was really a bad rat but he just lived in the barn for awhile and knew how things worked and on a farm it's do for yourself or don't do it at all. However in the end Templeton figured out that he had friends that would do things for him so he changed his outlook on things and became a good rat and wanted to help save Wilbur's life. All it took were the love of some friends. :)
