I'm not exactly sure what your definition of an ambush is, but mine 
would probably be springing a trap on someone, especially when they 
weren't expecting it, and vastly out numbering them when you spring 
the trap.

At the end of GoF, Harry, who had prepared himself to face one kind 
of danger, found himself torn away from every safety net he thought 
he had, to be confronted with the worst Dark Wizard in a century, & 
his some 30-odd followers.  Seems pretty "ambush-like" to me.
