The first time I spared Loghain was with a city elf, so there you go.
And yes, having him around for the whole game (or for most of it, anyway) would have been fantastic, though I'm not sure how it could have come to pass, exactly.
Regarding Macbeth and ambition - hrmm, not sure if the comparison is accurate, though both certainly fall down slippery slopes. Macbeth was pushed into it by his amibitious wife. Loghain, I think, doesn't want power, as such - he just believes he must shoulder Fereldan's burden himself and can't imagine that anyone else is capable of getting the country out of trouble (which, by his own admission, he's had a hand in creating). To that end, he puts himself in charge, but he's not really comfortable with it - I would imagine he would relinquish it once the blight was over, provided that Anora's reign was secured. Speculation of course, but that's the impression I got from it.

Loghain's comments in Awakening (and Origins) made it clear that he thought power was a heavy burden and not a privilege or soemthing to be taken for its own sake. And once he got rid of that burden, we see him being relieved and more laid down. As a result, I think the Loghain / Macbeth analogy is a poor one.
