To me, being anti-slavery is not enough to keep him from being remembered as a good guy when he sided with the South, the Confederates, who were basically traitors to the USA, by the way.
Lee is said by some to have opposed slavery, but the fact is that he owned them, and the state he was fighting for seceded in order to preserve the right of whites to own others.
Lee too was a traitor to the United States, taking up arms against the nation he swore to defend. Although I'm sure that, like Hitler, Lee loved his dog.
