Also what lawful means can alternate from person to person. For instance with Wyll, yes he made a deal with a devil, but he regrets it and wants out. A lawful good paladin could easily look at him and think 'I should help this man get free of his pact and find true redemption.'
My sentiment, exactly. In "Thieve's Honour" we have Sir Anal Retentive (also a walking caricature of LG) give the lying, stealing, prison fleeing, oathbreaking MC a second chance. IMO an LN Paladin would have killed the scumbag on sight.
