Well, I decided to approach it statistically, out of curiosity, and
searched the first four books for the word "sorry". So far, the word
sorry has actually been spoken in the books 100 times (Only counting
in actual dialogue), and 34 of those times it was spoken by Harry,
making him by far the most likely to be the one quoted. 

Hermione comes second, with 7 times. And Ron & Hagrid tie for third
with 6 each. Interestingly, Draco comes in for 4th place, having said
sorry 4 times,
and not meant it once...
