'Miss Plot Device' work too.
Ah, I see, you're using 'antagonist' in the classic sense of "The character that presents problems and conflict for the protagonist". In more modern uses, though, a necessary prerequisite to the label "antagonist" is usually "A character that deliberately causes problems and conflict for the protagonist".

In Sighs, Haruhi is intentionally causing a hard time for Kyon and the gang... I mean, she's hearing their complaints, so...

In BLR and EE, though, Haruhi isn't really intentionally causing any problems. And, through out the anime/novels as a whole, she rarely does.
