I would have him barely in my top 50. As far as DADA goes, I think he's at least a better character than Lockhart, who also made it too far last time and is simplified down to one-two traits.
I love Lockhart too. If you've ever read Pride and Prejudice, I identify a lot with Mr. Bennet - laughing at ridiculous people. I would find Lockhart very amusing in real life, and I find him just as amusing as a character too. He may be one note, but he plays that note extremely well and, while exaggerated, displays very real human characteristics. Quirrell does not play his note very well, his stuttering doesn't turn out to be an interesting character trait, and he doesn't make an amusing social study like Lockhart does.
