I also don't really see the Queerats as villains, per se. Squealer certainly acts the role, but I can see where he has good, practical reasons for doing and saying what he does. And the other Queerats are acting in ways that make sense for their own survival.
That being said, Saki and Satoru are clearly the protagonists of this work, and they're easy characters to get behind and root for. And so I will.
