I have a theoretical question concerning Prue. If Piper died or Phoebe even, could you see Prue going evil or insane like Willow did in "Buffy?"

I agree. I do not believe she would have turned evil either. Yes she may have had a temper but she was the most down to earth one in the first three episodes.

Yes. Actually, all the sisters have at some point gone evil or crazy. Although, most of the time it's done through an influence of a demon rather than their own will. Piper's an example of what her will could do, after declaring herself a god she nearly took apart San Francisco.
If Piper or Phoebe died.... evil Prue would definitely be an option. She even has the famous telekinetic abilities of the other good-girls-gone-bad, Jean Grey and Willow.

I agree. Prue in the aftermath of Piper's or Phoebe's death would have been like Piper in "Hell Hath No Fury"...a vigilante hell-bent on vengeance to the Nth power.

Evil Prue actually wouldn't be so... well... bad. Lol. She'd be more concerned with killing demons than anything else. I mean, I couldn't see her really going and killing innocent people.

Except Prue didn't have nearly the firepower that Piper acquired. Yes, she could redirect energy balls and launch projectiles. But, she couldn't blow things up. Hell Hath No Prue would not have been as messy as Hell Hath No Fury, though it would be nice to see Prue as a fury! Maybe she'd even go after the evil bosses of Bucklands!

Prue probably would have found creative ways to amp up her powers...such as using spells or potions to give herself temporary surges of increased firepower.

It's true that Prue could have created new powers for herself via the BOS (although, if she were "evil" she wouldn't be able to use it, would she?).

She'd still be a good witch...just one with a huge chip on her shoulder, and magic would be her outlet to satisfy her desire for vengeance.
I also think Prue might have blamed Phoebe if Piper had been the one to die, which might have caused a rift between the two of them.

Wait a minute! Wasn't Prue already angry at Phoebe for being out of range while all hell was breaking loose? Yes, I can see her being totally furious at Phoebe for causing Piper to die. And, can you imagine Paige coming in to that kind of a setting? Holy Shane!

Let's compare Prue's thoughts on her sisters deaths during AHBL:
Phoebe dies. She sobs for a while and then thinks, "Ah hell, it was her fault for going down to see her demon boyfriend. Serves her right."
Piper dies. She pretty much goes into a fury. She lashes out at Leo and Phoebe. But not before making a very powerful spell to endow her with magicks that are very useful.
Hm.... which one would I rather see? I'd still rather see Phoebe die because even if Prue had her angry sister storyline, I'd miss Piper too much.

Yes, but Phoebe was still down in the Underworld when Tempus reversed time...so Prue never actually got to confront Phoebe in the aftermath of Piper's death.

I was never as much of a Buffy fan as I am a Charmed one, but I couldn't see Prue going evil (maybe temporarily insane and vengeful at the powers that be) but not evil. They had an obligation as sisters and would stand by it despite all odds. Willow was already using too much magic and that is why Tara and her broke up in the first place- she was already corrupted by power. Losing Tara as soon as they got back together to humans of all people made her feel the urge to go against everything she believed in. Xander saved her with love, the same way the remaining sister or family would have saved Prue. I think she was too responisble to go evil. Sorry for the rambling!

She did use her powers against mortals when Piper temporarily died- but with good reason, no random rampage.

I could see Prue going vengeful rather than evil but I could sure as hell see a demon such as the Source taking advantage of that, having a Charmed One under his wing, sure as hell he would go for it! If anyone has read Charmed: Reset Reality (If not click my banner ) there is an episode were Piper goes mad with vengeance and the Source takes advantage of that. Far Scry Vengeance it is called, go read if you haven't already.

Vengeance is a dangerous pathway for any of the Charmed Ones to follow. For Phoebe, in Morality Bites, this culminated in death. For Piper, in Hell Hath No Fury, she became fury, a mysterious creature who ostensibly acts on behalf of good, but does so using methods that violate the canons of ethical behavior. In other words, the Furies are creatures for whom the ends, punishing bad guys, mortal or demonic, by whatever means necessary, ultimately places them in the category of "problem". As with all vigilanes, their appetite for justice can lead to its miscarriage and ultimately cast their fates to the dark side. A vengeful Prue, a foretaste of which we see in All Hell Breaks Loose as she flings camera people, newsreporters and innocent bystanders aside with a violent wave of the arm no matter what the cost in terms of physical injury, might have even posed a greater problem because of Prue's obsessive/compulsive personality.
Prue, as depicted in seasons 1 - 3, throws herself into her work, even if it means neglecting her own needs. Compulsion, anyone? She is a perfectionist who has to have everything just right. She doesn't just take a picture of Evan Stone; Prue has to snap one that truly captures Evan. The obvious won't do. She needs the perfect. Obsessive, anyone? She is a control freak who ultimately cannot brook anyone's obstruction.
Usually, Prue can handle this. Throwing herself into her work and finding success allows Prue to avoid dealing with the negative side of obsessive/compulsive disorder. But, what if others thwart her and prevent her from obtaining success. Then, she will do whatever it takes to remove obstacles from her path by whatever means necessary.
Imgaine how Prue would have dealt with demonic attacks against baby Wyatt. Imagine, if you will, Chris squared. Chris, rightfully, was motivated by a future that he had experienced. Prue, on the other hand, would have pursued any and every demon who dared pose a threat to baby Wyatt. After the first several attacks, Prue would systematically have gone after every demon imaginable (obsessive/compulsive) in order to protect her nephew.
A vengeful Prue ultimately would have become a warlock. There would have been no need for a demonic priestess to dupe Prue into turning evil by marrying a warlock.
