I love Snape's line in the duel scene in CoS, when Gilderoy Lockhart 
suggests that Neville Longbottom be Justin Finch-Fletchley's 
opponent.  Don't have the book in front of me, but it's something to 
the effect that as Neville wreaks havoc with the simplest of 
spells, "we'll be taking what's left of Finch-Fletchley to the 
hospital wing in a matchbox".  

Yes, I know it was devastating to poor Neville's self-esteem -- but 
it's just a sidesplitting line!
