I highly doubt the angles represent him being evil. Rather, I see the angles representing one of two things:

1. Him possibly having the "I have to watch oversee these two plushies!?!" feeling.
2. His mysterious side, since there's still a huge mystery in the manga that involves

Spoiler for manga:

Well, yeah, the way he's portrayed when watching the plushies doesn't really get me, but the way he shows up behind Negi when he's exterminating that dark substance. It's cloudy, dark, and then suddenly he shows up behind Negi with that weird smirk on his face and the angle only shows one eye? These just seem like typical ways to portray a villain to me... But then again, I did first think this about his ring when it turned out he was healing Konoka, Nodoka and Makie. I think it's fair to say that, at this point in the show, it's a possibility for him to be evil.

Too bad, no Baka Rangers in this one. =/

But it was a good episode. So, a mage can have more than one contract, or now that Negi has a contract with Nodoka he doesn't have a contract with Asuna anymore?

As long as negi uses only the "provisional" pactio, he can have an infinite amount of partners (or a number not yet determined by the original story, although Camo said "you can make as many provisional contract as you want")

keep in mind that since it's provisionnal, it's a "easy go", which would explain why he can have several ministers. the side effect is the magic used for this kind of contract is way weaker than a true contract. (explained by Camo in Chapter 19)
