I hope you realize that the characters you actually do poke fun at other characters - a character trait that Houtarou does not possess. Kyon repeatedly complains and ridicules Haruhi's ideas in his head, and Tomoya teases nearly everyone around him. Even Konoka occasionally writes a "bitter" story on purpose to mess with Touko.
Unless my memory fails me, Houtarou doesn't really verbally snap at anyone. While keeping to oneself doesn't make an interesting character, I don't see how his inactivity that makes him offensive. It's not like these mysteries are grand crises that involve murder or theft.

Tomoya never goes beyond playful teasing, while Inoue and Kyon are reacting to pushy girls who force them into situations they want nothing to do with. The worst Chitanda's ever done is look at Oreki with her big eyes and say, "Pretty please, with sugar on top," and in return he treats her rudely all the time, particularly at the cafe.
