Doflamingo's a chessmaster. In Jaya he tells Bellamy to not take sides and use peoples conflicting ideals to his advantage, he's all about the upper hand, the bigger picture. He wants to be Pirate King, the motivation behind that is one that merits consideration. He was there at Rogers execution and if you think about it, the crazed bloodlusting ever-smiling pirate with a demon epitath is somewhat similar to Rogers public persona. He very possibly admired Roger and wants to emulate him. He's definately an enemy in the sense that he'll always oppose the SH's, but that doesn't mean he has to be an overly bad guy. Vicious, manipulative, murderous, but he can still love his crew
