Influence in general, and with Kreia a little less than some others,
has very little to do with light side / dark side; it's what you say
afterwards that counts the most. With Kreia she seems to have a
couple of primary hotspots 1) You show weakness (and to her mercy and
charity are weakness) 2) You don't respect her position as your
mentor.

Just keep in mind that she's far too ruthless for you to have as
much positive influence on her as someone willing to take the
occasional dark side point or someone fully on the dark side. No one
promised that everyone will be your friend just because you are
"good".
Easy enough to do, just don't backtalk to her and you'll be fine.
Here are some examples: If you don't want spoilers, stop reading now.
When you first talk to her about her hand, you get a couple of
options to say how sorry you are or you wished you could protect her
(see #1 above), one to say how sorry she sould be and a last neutral
option. Go with neutral to avoid bad influence. Later in that
conversation you get one choice where you welcome her teaching (#2
above), one neutral one, a dark side option where you welcome the
power she will bring you (#2 above) and a couple of negative ones
where you denigrate her ability to teach you (#2 above but negative).
You get plenty of options for light side points, you should be more
than a little willing to say what she needs to hear if needed for the
greater good of having her open up to you and share what she knows
because she thinks she can trust you. In the end it's a roleplaying
decision, if you can't do it, don't worry about it; there are worse
things than not having that harridan like what you are doing because
you are playing a jedi who never decieves someone.
Either type would be fully acceptable, both in the fiction and in
the game; after all one of the good guys in the movies used the Force
to cheat at dice for the greater good and attempted to decieve a
merchant into accepting nearly worthless currency for a transaction
because it was expedient to do so.
You aren't playing a D&D Paladin, do the least amount of possible
harm, help where you can but above all, get the job done because a few
darkside points are nothing compared to seeing the Sith destroy the
galaxy. After all, that's the call that got you exiled in the first
place.
