Well, perhaps that's just my bias, then. To me Light went from 'wanting to do good, just in a questionable way sometimes' like Lulu to 'clearly a bad guy' when his god complex made him go from just killing bad guys to killing people who called him out on what he was doing and/or tried to catch him (which is funny because had he not killed Lind L. Taylor or Ray Penbar and just stuck to killing bad guys they probably would never have gotten even close to figuring out it was him.)
Lulu, on the other hand, yeah, people who don't like him will argue that he's just in it for his sister and revenge against his father and that he doesn't care about anything else, but he's still never even close to being the complete and total soulless manipulating monster Light's turned into by about halfway through episode 2. I wouldn't say he's a tad more human than Light, I'd say he's significantly more human than him.
More to the point, I've seen far more Lelouch vs. Suzaku idealistic flamewars on /a/ than Light vs. L/Near ones. The definitions of good and evil are ambiguous in both shows, yes, but they're significantly less ambiguous in Death Note than in Geass.
