He stated in his letter to the town he shot Fred because he was an adulterer, he murdered Grundy because she was a child predator, and targeted Midge and Moose because they were doing drugs. So all in all, he did intend to harm Fred.

I highly, highly doubt it is Polly. It makes no sense to me. Black Hood is clearly a man, and the only reason why you're going by PLL's logic is because A was always in a stuffed black hoodie, making them seem menacing and masculine. BH has clearly been shown as a male. As it has been stated, BH is a middle-aged man and you can see how aged he looks by his eyes and the wrinkles around it. I also don't understand why some people think it is Hal. BH looks nothing like Hal to me. If anything, I suspect Alice could've hired Black Hood. That'd make sense to me. As Killer Kev pointed out, Archie's testimony of his appearance could be unreliable. He also said he targeted Moose and Midge for being sex addicts as well. I'm not saying Black Hood didn't intend to hurt Fred, but intending to hurt is different than intending to kill.

That's totally fine. It's probably not. I just like coming up with theories. The PLL logic was more along the lines of not wanting people to guess who the character is based on their bodies. But yes, also to appear more menacing. But that's not the sole intent. But yes, using the logic that people who are supposed to have a mysterious identity are not always what they appear is not founded in any kind of fact. I realize that. I'm just speculating.

I can see similiarities to Hal, mainly in the bags under the eyes. I could see Alice Cooper doing that because I think she would do a lot of things that others wouldn't to protect the town/her daughters. She's also someone who is always talking about "cleaning up" things.

I'm not too sure how I feel about the hitman idea though. The creator said that BH is like the Zodiac Killer and I don't know, him being a hitman just seems like too much of a stretch from that. In my opinion.
