Hmmm... Difficult. Very difficult.

(1) Certainly the whole of the section from Lucius Malfoy's 
appearance in the Department of Mysteries right through to 
Dumbledore's explanation why he didn't make Harry a prefect.

(2) The marvellous put down McGonagall uses on Umbridge about the 
DADA report during the careers interview. In fact MM's exchanges with 
DJU all through the book.

(3) The tricks and techniques used by the students to pass round 
Harry's interview in the Quibbler after Umbridge issued Decree no 27 
baning the magazine.

That's for starters anyway.
