What we don't know in all this (and may never, who knows) is how many other girls Mami helped lure into Kyuube's control. It could be several and based on Mami's dialogue in the last episode, I suspect it's at least one or two and they've already died. But of course, that's 100% speculation on my part.
As I mentioned on your blog, I saw Mami as a well intentioned extremist, but episode 3 does lend some strong support to theories along the line of what you and Clarste are saying. I just didn't pick up on it when I initially watched because, well... so much happened in episode 3. I had to actually rewatch a few scenes and think about the implications for my theory.

I'm hoping she gets revived though - flawed sure, but she was my favourite character so far just on the basis of pure charm.
