Well, I haven't actually *cried* reading any of the HP books, but if I did, the moment that got me the most would be when Harry is going thru his trunk toward the end of the book and finds the package Sirius gave him "in case you need to contact me" or whatever. And Harry didn't want to get him into trouble, so he *never even opened it*! This is such an "if-only" moment. If only he'd realized it was there, he wouldn't have had to break into Umbridge's office to use her fire (though I was really impressed at how he figured out how to do that sticking-your-head-out-of-the-fire thing. I thought he'd just go all the way thru...). If only he'd have made more contact with Sirius, it would have made Sirius' last days happier, even if the final outcome couldn't have been changed. But, the biggest, if only he'd consulted with Sirius about the dreams, etc. and really listened, he may have helped him to see it was a trap and changed the whole outcome.
