It's important to remember that a lot of animes don't have antagonists. K-On is completely bereft of them, for example.

The Computer Club President! I've forgot about him. Yeah, he was the antagonist there. Btw I would say the antagonist of K-ON is the laziness of the girls.
It is what prevent then to be a sucess as a band. But, well, is not like their objectives is beinga sucess(it is, actually, have fun), so I guess you are right

It's still causing frustration/suffering for the SOS Brigade, though.

You are right. 'Vilian' was not the better word.

Precia Testarossa is a good example of a villain. She delights in inflicting pain on Fate, after Fate switches to the protagonist side.

Well, too bad I never watch Nanoha. I understand your point anyway. Another antagonist who is not a villian would be L from Death Note, even better, Matsuda and Father Yagami, both completely good person who are against the (vilanious) protagonist. Other exemples would be Chao from Negima!(not-so-bad things for an arguebly good reason), many aliens from GANTZ (many just stay quiet when the protagonist come to slay then) and most rivals from a competition anime (like Gary of Pokemon or Akira from Hikaru no Go).
