I'LL ADD:
SS:When Hagrid comes to take Harry to Hogwarts and he gives him his 
first birthday cake. Also when Harry is taken away from all the 
mistreatment.  My heart just burst. 
GOF: When Cedric's ghost asked Harry to take his body back.
I have more, just cant think of them at moment.....too many furniture 
polish fumes!
