Zero no Tsukaima. Saito gets mistreated a lot, but he's got a mouth on him and is an awesome swordfighter. He does have a dirty mind, though, but it more often than not passes off as comedy. It's a great series, and has good drama in the second season, as well.
Clannad is a harem anime only in the loosest of terms. Tomoya has a bunch of girls around him, but I wouldn't say they're pining after him like most harem anime. It's more like a mild interest (at first --- their interest gets a bit more serious further into the series). This anime is still ongoing.
Tenchi Muyo! is good. Tenchi is not a pushover, at least not to the extent of the pathetic wimps most harem anime have.
Ai Yori Aoshi. The main character Kaoru has a bit of a hard past, but he's not weak. A bit shut-in at first, but he opens up. A sweet harem anime (kind of a pseudo-harem, not a true harem as some would classify, like Clannad).
