It didn't make me cry either, and I love him.  It made me feel hollow 
for days afterward.

I'll give you two from OoP:

1) Right after Sirius dies, Neville, who legs are wobbling 
uncontrollably, slides down the stone benches one by one to where 
Harry stands.  And broken-nosed Neville says," Harry...I'b really 
sorry...Was dat man - was Sirius Black a - a friend of yours?"

It was a very decent thing to do, in Neville's stumbly, bumbly way, 
to simply acknowledge Harry's pain and say he was sorry.  And, now 
that I think about it, I believe Neville is the only character who 
says "I'm sorry."

2) Harry sitting and grieving by himself by the lake and finally 
getting up to return to the castle, wiping his face on his sleeve as 
he went.  That description portrayed someone who seemed so alone and 
isolated at a time when he needs some support.  It depressed me.
