My favorite "Yes! moment in OoP was something pretty small -- when 
Trelawney started sobbing during divination and announced to the 
class -- and Umbridge -- that Harry was not going to die young after 
all, but live to be MoM and have 12 children. It was the first time 
Trelawney had done something that I really liked, and I thought it 
was great how the teachers were working around Umbridge to support 
Harry.
