It's not my absolute favourite but I do really like this:
UK PoA Hardback Pg 95 - 96.
A few cauldrons away, Neville was in trouble. Neville regularly went to pieces in Potions lessons; it was his worst subject and his great fear of Professor Snape made things ten times worse. His potion, which was supposed to be bright, acid green had turned -
"Orange, Longbottom,"
Part of the reason I like this so much is because it is spread over the two pages, the "Orange Longbottom" being on page 96. It just kinda adds to the feeling of "oh dear, what's he done this time?" I had this real feeling of dread the first time I read that and then just burst out laughing (I know I'm cruel!)
HOLLYDAZE!!!
