I think that Satan definitely would consider himself to be a good guy because no one ever really thinks of themselves as the villain. Maybe he sees himself as a spiritual revolutionist or a liberator of souls.
I would definitely have to disagree strongly with Food Eater Lad, though. Obviously choice and free will were a part of God's plan from the start because God put the tree there. If he wanted people to be like the animals he: A, wouldn't have created a Tree of Knowledge to ruin his plan and B, wouldn't have made man in his own image. The word used for image in Genesis not only describes the physical form, but also the mind and soul. In order to be made after the mind and soul of God, mankind would need free will. That was the purpose of the tree.
