I think that for me, the most consistently annoying person was Tonks.

I didn't care for that clumsy act, the "wotcher" catchphrase, or the 
metamorphmagus talent that NEVER GOT USED!

After reading OotP--a story in which she contributed nothing but 
extra verbiage, I couldn't help thinking of her as the "Poochie" of the
HP series.  

(For those outside the Simpson fen, "Poochie" was an animated
dog character added to the Itchy and Scratchy Show in order to 
make it more "hip" and "extreme."  He wore a backwards baseball
cap, rode a skateboard, and had a stupid catchphrase that I 
forget.)

Tonks was even more annoying in HBP when she got depressed
and mousy-haired, and kept dropping by to say incomprehensible,
mopey things.  

She was only slightly less annoying in DH, mainly because she
wasn't around that much.  And, one could while one could 
speculate on whether or not Tonks was pregnant before she
married Lupin while the Trio was busy arguing for the 
umpteenth time about where to look for the next Horcrux.

But, her annoyitude spread to Lupin in DH.  He had been 
sort of interesting when he was bitter and cynical in HBP.   As 
soon as he married Tonks, he went from bitter to whiney.  I 
agree that his "woe is me" act got tiresome.

As for Grawp... yes, he was an annoying character, but I can't 
blame him for that.  He didn't ask to be dragged to England
and tied to a tree for a year and a half.  

Aragog was pretty annoying, too.  

Or maybe it's just Hagrid.  I found myself agreeing with the
girls who liked Professor Grubbly-Plank's lesson better 
than Hagrid's.  That one on bowtruckles was pretty darn 
fun.
