Sally.
I think Sally represents society. Yes, I too ripped this off from a class discussion. But I thought about it, and it makes complete sense. Holden talks about Sally like he does about all the other "phonies." She's fake and puts on an act, but Holden still tries to get with her. He tells her secrets and tells her he loves her, but she rejects him.
This could be seen as a metaphor for how society treats Holden. He tries to understand it (Or really, have it understand him) but in the end he fails.
