I have about 50 favorite scenes, so I'll go with one that I think is 
also a nice plot twist.  

In GoF, Moody turns Draco into "the amazing bouncing ferret."  
McGonnagall transfigures the ferret into Draco.  Then:

"Moody, we never use transfiguration as a punishment!" said Professor 
McGonagall weakly.  "Surely Professor Dumbledore told you that?"
"He might've mentioned it, yeah," said Moody, scratching his chin 
unconcernedly."  <snip>

Aside from being amusing, I think Crouch/Moody transfigures Draco 
because Crouch/Moody had no idea about this rule because he never had 
a talk with Dumbledore about the rules.  The real Moody did.  So JKR 
uses this scene to get us to like Moody, but it is also a subtle clue 
that Moody isn't who we think he is.
