The harmonic modes allow for a major or minor in one chord position. Relative to the E major (which while out of key in the harmonic, is in key in diatonic. It should be an E augmented chord, but that just sounds gross. Theory is just guidelines after all) the A is the fourth, and the fourth can be major or minor because of the augmented fifth in the scale :)
