Who is your favorite bit player (and why)?

Most of the Really Big Stars in HP have their own clubs.  Ron has 
C.R.A.B., Hermione has S.C.H.A.B.B., Snape has Snapefans, and Lupin 
and Sirius have clubs (although the names are in flux).  But HP 
contains a great number of bit players with tiny roles, and some of 
these are really wonderful.  These characters will never get clubs, 
unfortunately, but they do a lot to enrich the books.

My favorite is Sir Cadogan, the little knight who directs Harry, 
Hermione and Ron to their first Divination class in PoA.  I think he 
only gets two scenes or so, but he really comes to life in just a few 
paragraphs.

"Farewell!" cried the knight, popping his head into a painting of 
some sinsiter-looking monks.  "Farewell, my comrades-in-arms!  If 
ever you have need of noble heart and steely sinew, call upon Sir 
Cadogan!"
"Yeah, we'll call you," muttered Ron as the knight disappeared, "If 
we ever need someone mental."
