I personally find the Bloody Baron to more intriguing and more 
likely to play an important role in book 6 or 7.  There is 
repetition throughout the series in mentioning several unusual 
things about the Baron: that he is covered in silver blood, that he 
rarely talks, and that he is the only being in the castle that is 
able to control Peeves.  Things that are repeated in this fashion 
should clue you in that they are "loose ends" that will eventually 
be tied up, whether or not they are imortant.  The Grey Lady, on the 
other hand, seems to be just an incidental character to me.
