Since I have a memory like a sieve, I'll just mention the scene I read
most recently that made me feel sad.  It's the beginning of CoS, where
Harry is having breakfast with the Dursleys, and they freak out about
him saying "You didn't say the magic word," Uncle Vernon forbids any
mention to be made of his "abnormality," and the plan for the evening is
that Harry remain silently in his room and pretend that he isn't
there.  Most of the time, I can feel some sympathy for the Dursleys,
forced as they are by familial ties to interact with a world they are
terribly frightened of, but that scene really got to me when I reread it
last night.
