As a villain, she lies, kills, cheats and steals without remorse, even leaving entire communities to die at the hands of the Grimm and was willing to use her most trusted follower as a decoy, knowingly putting her in harm's way, and there's the issue of the Spring Maiden. Those are all traits of villains. On the contrary, there are plenty of stories where a character with "villain traits" can be the hero of the story. Doing villanous things doesn't necessary make you a villain, it more about the perspective and the role charcter are given.

I would also say that Raven is selfish but neutral character who takes the side that has most benefits, though she also has a very big soft spot for Yang and Tai. And even though she has sold Yang out, I'm pretty sure she would have also hunted down the person responsible of her death if Yang had ended up being killed in Heaven.
