Warlock is a very old term that has two meanings: to describe a wizard of unusually fierce appearance or as a title denoting particular skill or achievement. It originally denoted one learned in dueling and all martial magic or given as a title to a wizard who had preformed feats of bravery (as muggles are sometimes knighted). It is, sometimes, incorrectly used as interchangeable with the term "wizard". Albus Dumbledore was the Chief Warlock of the Wizengamot.
In The Tales of Beedle the Bard Albus Dumbledore mentions an old magazine called Warlocks At War - this was writen by Brutus Malfoy and was essentially concerning the war he felt was between pure bloods and muggles. The term here may have been used to draw on the fact that warlocks were skilled in warrior magic, as well as it being used synonymously with wizard.
The Tales of Beedle the Bard also tell the story of The Warlock with the Hairy Heart which concerns a wizard engaging in dark magic. Dumbledore claims this is to show that he is an accomplished wizard regardless of his darker inclinations.
Within all the Harry Potter books references are made to Warlocks as those with fieceness or eccentricity attached to them and naturally as those of high achievement, such as Albus Dumbledore.
