The Easter Egg

As always, sorry if this has been discussed to death.  If I read every thread 
I wouldn't have to say this all the time...but I barely have time to read the 
one's that interest me lately XP 

Anyway, I was reading Chapter 29 in OoP...well, listening to it, actually, 
and this passage caught my eye/ear.  

(pg. 654. US ed)  

'She handed him a handsome choclate egg decorated with small, iced Snitches 
and, according to the packaging, containing a bag of Fizzing Whizbees. Harry 
looked at it for a moment, then, to his horror, felt a hard lump rise in his 
throat. 

"Are you okay, Harry?" asked Ginny quietly 

"Yeah, I'm fine," said Harry gruffly. The lump in his throat was painful. He 
did not understand why an Easter egg would have made him feel like this.' 


My first thought was the snitches made him think of his father showing off in 
Snape's memory, but I'd think so obvious an answer would be obvious to Harry 
as well.  As do some other reasons I can think up.  

So...anyone have any thoughts?
