Voldie and Dementors are terrifying, Barty and Lucius and Wormtail 
are evil personified, but my creepy character (as things stand at the 
end of GOF) is going to have to be Fudge. At least with the others 
you know where you stand (once Crouch was unmasked, that is.) Fudge 
is supposed to be a good guy, but has no qualms about putting people 
in danger to serve his own image and self-interest. Thanks to his 
arrogance/incompetence/cowardice, people are going to die and most of 
them will never see it coming because they trust him to protect and 
inform them. (He's the mayor in Jaws, even as a kid I thought he was 
way scarier than the fish.) 

On a visceral level, put me down in the Dementor column. Having had a 
brush with clinical depression (JKR's inspiration for these 
creatures) I'd much rather take my chances with Voldie than meet up 
with these guys - Avada's at least quick.
