I nominate Turgon. For not letting Hurin into Gondolin straightaway. "Remember the Fen of Serech", indeed. Bah. One of the most ungrateful acts ever committed in Middle Earth.
And I would also like to confess that while dislike is too strong a word, I've never really participated in the love affair most readers seem to have with Frodo. I find him a bit dull and worthy, and nowhere near as endearing as Bilbo. Elijah Wood's portrayal did little to change my mind.
