A protagonist is the star of the story; usually a protagonist is a GOOD guy. The antagonist is the enemy of the protagonist; usually a BAD guy.
If the character is both a protagonist and an antagonist, then you call that character the ANTI-HERO.
An anti-hero is the star of the story who isn't really good but at the same time, isn't really bad-bad. Examples of anti-heroes would be Artemis Fowl and Jack Sparrow (from Pirates of the Carribean). They're both the star of the story but they're not exactly the good guy hero, nor are they the really bad guy. Hope this helps :)

Protagonist isn't unnecessarily a proponent of good but the one whom the story takes prime focus upon.

don't know that character but i'd call him or her a vigilante. behaviour is often inconsistent but always selfish. everything he or she does is beneficial to him or herself.
hannibal lecter is a classic example. is he evil? maybe, possibly, but isn't there justice in some of the things he does? yes, but it is a very crude form of justice. justice seeks to balance, he seeks to punish.

It depends. If he/she goes from protagonist TO antagonist, he/she's what you call a traitor. If he/she goes from antagonist to protagonist, I guess he/she's a protagonist.
