My votes

-the Riddle graveyard after Harry portkeyed out with Cedric's corpse

-Snape after he left the infirmary at the end of GoF

-Draco explaining his hodgepodge of hex marks to his father, 
especially as a "mudblood" and a few Weasleys bested him

-the look on Petunia's face when Lily got her letter


I also agree that I would dearly love to see the scene where Petunia 
opens her front door to find Harry, as well his toddlerhood. Were 
the Dursleys any nicer to him before he started showing signs of 
magic? Is any part of their poor treatment of Harry part of some 
misguided attempt to figuratively "beat" this abnormalcy out of him? 
What did Dumbledore threaten them with to prevent them from sending 
Harry to an orphanage?
