I must say, underneath those beautiful, unaging faces that speak like angels, they are monsters in decent. Out of all the purebloods, most of the majority are ignorant, vile, and arrogant. Espeicially the Kurans, because their arrogance is going to lead to their extinction very soon. First off, the Kurans were Stupid to give up half of their power to a bunch of Level B Nobles, in result, the council is just as powerful as the Purebloods, but in all, they monger for more power.
Second, because of the Council's High power and demand for it, the results were that Rido was easily manipulated, the King of Purebloods, Easily controlled( The Puppeteer was Asato, Ichijou's Grandfather, While Ichijo was the spy) and Kaname easily befooled.
Last off, with Purebloods around, i really doubt the Humans will ever get along with Vampires, their inhuman Nature, and Arrogance only makes it more complicated.
Example: Yuuki's Transformation to Human to Pureblood. She was carefree and in belief to the Headmaster's dream, but now she is a Kaname #2, but love confused
Also note, look what they have done with Zero's Life:
1) Murder his parents, because she thought they had something to do with her Fiancee's disappearance (Shizuka)
2) took away Ichiru from him, turned him against him(Shizuka)
3) Made him more Heartless(Yuuki, Kaname, Shizuka)
4) consumed a girl that he loved, and cared for. Zero tried so much to make sure, she doesn't feel the pain he is feeling as he transforms...only to realize she was one of them the whole time(Yuuki)
I can now See why Zero hates them, and plans to kill them all...

Shadow Bikou Gyoku I must say, underneath those beautiful, unaging faces that speak like angels, they are monsters in decent. Out of all the purebloods, most of the majority are ignorant, vile, and arrogant. Espeicially the Kurans, because their arrogance is going to lead to their extinction very soon.

I guess I'll respond to your points one by one..
1) One could contend that the Kiryuu murders were somewhat justified. You make it seem like Zero's parents were innocent, but they did kill Shizuka's lover, who so far as we know had done nothing to deserve his execution. I'd also like to point out that Shizuka couldn't have been that arrogant-- she fell in love with an ex-human! If she was so arrogant and on such a high horse she wouldn't have loved the lowest ranking vampire in the pyramid.
2) Ichiru went with Shizuka and betrayed the Kiryuus entirely on his own. Shizuka didn't take him away; Ichiru took himself away by deciding to leave with her. He acted entirely on his own free will.
3) Was it his parents' murder that made Zero heartless? Or Ichiru's betrayal? I would argue the latter. For vampire hunters to be murdered by vampires is somewhat expected. I think Ichiru dealt the harsher blow. Also, no one can really be blamed for Zero's heartlessness. He's also acting on free will.
4) I don't see how this is a valid point. Yuuki was already a vampire. If anything, humanism consumed Yuuki, not the other way around.
If there is any lesson to be learned from VK. I think it is that nothing is black and white. All of the characters have their faults and strengths. Lumping all of the purebloods together as arrogant and evil is unfair, just as it would be to lump all humans together into the same moral class. There are no such easy distinctions in VK, and to me that is what makes it such a compelling series-- all the shades of gray.
