OK, here's what's going on: Nessa is the one who gets squashed by the house, Glenda is NAMED the "good witch", she's really a self serving backstabber. Elphaba was always nice, she was just misunderstood. Glenda misconstrue the story of what happened between the wizard, Elphaba and her, so everyone, except Fiero, believed that she was bad. The musical was wonderful, and so was the book. I might be wrong on some points, but this was my understanding of the novel. I never liked Glenda anyways!
God Bless!!
