Yeah, Lupin is probably my first choice. McGonagall, I think, would strike a similar balance.
I think, though, that an interesting dynamic here will be the preexisting relationships. For example, I frankly can't see *most* Gryffindors, in-character, voting out Harry. This makes Lupin better than McGonagall, if only because Harry will likely be more loyal to the former than to the latter, but I think that, as a whole, it counterbalances the anti-popular-figure tendency.
The Slytherin side will be less predictable, if only because so few of the characters are canonically fleshed out. There in particular, it'll be interesting to see the effects of Occlumency. (How, for example, could a secret alliance be kept from Voldemort, or possibly even Snape?) I don't expect Snape to win, unless he can keep up some serious bootlicking, but I do think he'd be amusing to play. :-)
