I would have to say Lee Jordan purely for his Quidditch commentary.  
He's neither a one-shot character (such as Archie with his flowered 
dress in GoF) nor a fairly important character who we nonetheless see 
very little of (such as Dumbledore).  

The mental picture of McGonagall giving the evil eye to Lee and 
saying, "Jordan--" in a warning tone of voice is priceless.  Butter 
wouldn't melt in his mouth!  I especially like his commentary about 
Harry's Firebolt (sounds like a sales pitch).  He keeps making me 
think of the host on Robot Wars.  

My kids crack up uncontrollably whenever I'm reading Quidditch scenes 
to them, and they frequently go around the house saying, "Jordan--!" 
to each other.  How can you not like the boy? :)
