So many great ones mentioned already, including (suprising to me) one 
of my favorites -- the "two Neptunes" exchange.  I love that one 
also, but can't figure out why...

Here's one from near the end of PS/SS, in the hospital wing when Harry 
is asking Dumbledore questions:

"And there's something else..."

"Fire away."

"Quirrell said Snape --"

"*Professor* Snape, Harry."

"Yes, him -- ..."


And in GoF, right after the first task, when Ron and Hermione meet 
Harry in the medical tent:

Hermione stood nervously between them, looking from one to the other. 
 Ron opened his mouth uncertainly.  Harry knew Ron was about to 
apologize and suddently he found he didn't need to hear it.

"It's okay," he said, before Ron could get the words out.  "Forget 
it."

"No," said Ron, "I shouldn't've --"

"*Forget it,*" Harry said.

Ron grinned nervously at him, and Harry grinned back.

Hermione burst into tears.

"There's nothing to cry about!" Harry told her, bewildered.


And one I always have to read over three times:

"Chocolate Frog!" he yelled angrily, standing on one leg.  "Sugar 
Quill!  Cockroach Cluster!"
The gargoyle sprang to life and jumped aside.  Harry blinked.
"Cockroach Cluster?" he said, amazed.  "I was only joking...."
