I think for what it's worth that my favorite character
as far as humor is concerned is Gilderoy Lockhart. 
Every scene he was in was so funny I was splitting my
sides at the same time I was trying to read to my kids
(and they were literally rolling around laughing--it
made it hard to get them to settle down at bedtime,
frankly).  Rita Skeeter is a close second for humor,
but Lockhart wins the LOL prize hands down.  (Of
course we're laughing at him, not with him.) Lockhart
was an inspired creation, and I couldn't help but
wonder whether her encounters with some Fleet Street
reporters after JKR became quite famous were
responsible for the creation of Rita.
