Personally, I would think that if some deadfolk are just laying around, rotting and molding, and someone comes along and gives them a chance to rise up and do some useful work, like saving the town from a raiding party, that would be seen as a good thing.
Why are Necromancers always considered the bad guys?

I support the unevilfication of necromancers.
That being said, have you ever heard of a necromancer having a group of the undead clean up a town?
You should look up the book "Sabriel" by Garth Nix. The main character is a necromancer that keeps the dead... dead.

My experience with Necromancers, they attack you or send their undead warriors at you if you accidentally get too close. After smashing their undead with my warhammer, yelling at the guy I'm just passing through to the Throat of the World, he then starts blasting at me with fire, ice, and/or lightning. Then I get really mad and and begin Shouting at him, and accidentally send him tumbling down the cliffside...
Also ran into some trying to raise some "Wolf Queen" or something just outside of Solitude. I wanted to see how their ritual was going, but as soon as I come into their lair, they send their undead warriors at me! I just wanted to observe them raise someone long dead.
Necromancers, in my opinion, tend to be rather moody and very angry and aggressive. If they would just dabble in some resotration magic every so often, maybe they wouldn't be so cranky.
