Wekk, he's definitely not a political independent, thst's for sure. A bit hard to be, when you're the figurehead and usually direct leader for one of the main factions. "Stupid" only in the YA gwnre "all adults are useless" way maybe, but taken as a whole he's more like a minor antagonist (after Snape, Draco, Umbrage, and the Dursleys, but still beating Voldemort out of the top five for directness of action) from a story function position.
