Sorry, I should clarify. I was referring to the intentions of the
author, not the character. JKR intended both Skeeter and Umbridge to be
dislikable. With Skeeter, I contend she achieved that in ways she
didn't intend; I think she was more successful with Umbridge. (BTW, I
take your point with Umbridge, but I don't see the disconnect. You seem
to be arguing that Umbridge can't be annoying because she's loathsome;
can't she be both?)

I chose Harry as the Unintentionally Most Annoying Character because JKR didn't intend him to be annoying, but he managed it anyway.
